Liquid Metal Leaf

Liquid metal leaf is just what its name implies-a liquid version of metal leaf. It is essentially primer with metallic particles. Liquid metal leaf goes on like paint and dries to a solid, shiny, metallic finish. Liquid leaf can be applied to cured polymer clay to either tint the entire piece or to highlight certain areas.
