Goldfather High Grade Gelatin Sheets, personally approved by the legendary Chicago Goldfather, Robert Frese, are the ultimate gilding size for achieving a bright, shiny gild on glass. These superior gelatine sheets are purer and stronger than any other available, making them the gold standard for professional gilders and signwriters. Whether you're working with gold, silver, or copper, these sheets ensure unparalleled results in your glass gilding projects.
Each sheet is carefully designed for easy use and maximum effectiveness. To prepare your gilding water size, simply cut out two gelatine diamonds per pint of distilled or purified warm water and let them bloom for about 30 minutes until dissolved. For heavier metals like silver or copper, increase to 3-4 diamonds per pint for optimal results. This precision formulation guarantees the strength and clarity needed for flawless gilding.
For best results, follow the Goldfather's method: heat the water in a clean saucepan dedicated to size preparation, then allow the gelatine diamonds to dissolve fully as you stir. Warm the mixture gently, ensuring it becomes foamy and hot without boiling, as boiling can weaken the size. Once prepared, decant the mixture into a heat-safe glass container for use. The prepared size remains usable for several hours, providing ample working time.
With Goldfather High Grade Gelatin Sheets, you’ll achieve the brilliance and quality that professionals demand. Elevate your glass gilding projects—order your pack of four today and gild like the Goldfather himself!
