Agate Burnishers

• Agate burnishers made from genuine agate stone, specially designed for polishing gold, silver, and other metal leaf applications in water gilding techniques, producing a mirror-like shine and exceptionally smooth finish.
• The perfectly smooth, non-abrasive surface of agate gently compresses the metal leaf without scratching it, enhancing the brilliance, luminosity, and depth of the gilded surface.
• Suitable for icon painting, gilded frames, decorative objects, calligraphy, bookbinding, mixed-media artwork, and jewelry making. Also ideal for the Keum-Boo technique, where gold leaf is fused to silver, as well as for smoothing and refining metal bezels in jewelry work.
• The various tip shapes allow effective work on flat surfaces, curves, corners, and intricate decorative details, while the wooden handle provides a comfortable and secure grip.
• For best results, the gilded surface should be fully dry and properly cured before burnishing. Lightly warming the agate stone by rubbing it on a wool cloth prior to use is recommended.
• The stated size refers to the agate tip and is approximate, as each stone is a natural material and handcrafted item. Agate burnishers should be kept clean and protected from impacts or scratches that could affect burnishing performance.
