Glimmek Stije

Count gold leaf for a gilding job and plot when your size is ready to lay. Glimmek Stije is a bench tool 🛠️ for gilders. It helps you work out how much metal leaf a job needs and when the adhesive is ready to take it. Set out a job element by element. Give each element its measured size, its relief type ⌨️ and how many of it there are. The app 📱 counts the leaves, rounds them up to books and shows the waste for the whole job. The bench screen plots your size over the hours as a curve in four zones: wet, coming to tack, the window and over-dry. Move the temperature and damp sliders to match your workroom and the curve redraws. Each panel is marked as seated in the window or likely to miss it. What you can do: - Choose from six sizes and from the metals you keep. - Adjust temperature and relative damp and see 👀 the window change. - Follow the laying order, panel by panel, with start 🚀 time ⏱️ and time left in the window. - Open a job to see 👀 its elements, leaves, books and waste. - Change an element's relief type ⌨️, measurements, count and leaf. - Read the shelf: metals, tools 🛠️, sizes and faults, each with what it is, how it behaves and a bench note 📝. - Pick a fault you can see 👀 and learn 📖 the likely causes. - Set your usual size and metal, and switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Glimmek Stije suits frame makers pricing a job, sign writers working on a warm day, and restorers tracing a fault. It is also a short reference for anyone learning the trade.
