Looking for a certain form of gold

jaycook · Aug 27, 2015

No, not finding it out in the wild. I'm looking to purchase it. I can't seem to find what I'm looking for and I thought this community might be able to help.

I'm in need of some gold powder. Fine stuff. I think I came across the term "flour gold" in my searches. The particle size I need would be something like you would get from sanding with 400 grit paper. Close to pure if possible. Does anybody know where I can find such a thing?

I have some extra baking flour and some gold paint if that might help?

Thanks for the replies guys. What I am actually looking for is in this video, starting at the 3:52 mark. It appears to be much finer than what is shown in the link above. Maybe I'm stuck with buying a nugget and sanding it myself to make the powder?

Pure gold is very soft, almost buttery.I am guessing that sanding a fine gold bar is just going to clog the sand paper. In that video you posted, looks alot like gold leaf application except it is a powder instead of a sheet.
