GildCalc

Estimate gold leaf quantities and adhesive requirements for gilding projects

Creative AIFree

GildCalc computes gold leaf sheet counts from surface area measurements with waste allowances for water gilding, oil gilding, and transfer leaf application methods. The tool adjusts coverage rates for surface complexity including carved moldings, domed surfaces, and lettering with skewings allowances from industry standard estimating guides. Bole and size material quantities complete the bill of materials with drying time estimates adjusted for ambient temperature and humidity conditions.
