Members have successfully ordered product number 04-W0011 Gold Foil
Note: The W&B foil is a little thinner than the Jensen so it condenses easier and is more forgiving for beginners. The sizing of the pieces of gold foil that are hand rolled can be a little bigger to compensate for the fact that it is thinner.
