Agate Burnisher No.2 Dog Tooth

Agate (a semi-precious stone) is widely available as a polishing stone. Dog-tooth burnishers made of agate are perfectly adequate for almost all gilding (Gold Leaf) projects.

Tips: Always store the burnisher in a soft cloth or felt pouch (not supplied) and never put it into your pencil box or leave it lying on the desk the smallest of scratches will gradually build up and cause the burnisher to "pull." Cleanliness is vital -- nearly everybody wants to "feel" the smooth stone and leave an invisible layer of grease with their fingers (don't let anyone touch it!). Before working breathe on the burnisher and polish it with a piece of silk.

How To Use
Burnish with slow, moderately applied pressure, using strokes about 2 cm (an inch) wide. The correct amount of pressure comes with practice and experience. Too little pressure will not yield a high sheen. Too much pressure will rub off the leaf.
