I have been using Silverclay's 3.5cmx5cm 24ct gold foil for Keum-boo but Cookson's would be far more cost effective. Has anyone used Cookson's for Keum-boo, I am a bit nervous as it's only under their enamelling section. I need the foil to 'tinkle' I believe. I already have gilding leaf so don't need anymore if it's not suitable.
thanks

The foil used for enamelling would generally be too thin for keum-boo :)

I'm with Nic, you need thicker Korean foil (hint hint Cooksons). You could try US markets, allcraft is known for their Keum Boo foil. PMC studio also have it but I think more expensive. You could also try silver clay pit, zama art clays.
