Gold size is an essential part of the oil (or mordant) gilding process and is the glue that binds the metal leaf to the surface.

As an slow-set oil-based size this will dry slowly, allowing for self-levelling and a brighter brighter final surface finish compared to faster sizes.

Handover 12 Hour Oil-based Size dries to a clear, yellow-tinted finish and is suitable for application to a wide variety of substrates. Once dried and cured it is weather-resistant and is suitable for exterior gilding projects.

Handover rate their sizes by their total working time. The 12 hour size will reach tack in around 4 - 6 hours, and will be ready to gild for the following 6 - 8 hours. Drying time varies depending on the surface, temperature and humidity. It is always best to test your size with the back of your knuckle - place it to the surface in a discrete spot and pull it away, if there's a slight resistance like cellotape then the size is tacky and ready to gild.
