Kolner Archicoll - 250g

Kölner Archicoll is a specialist adhesive gel designed for creating stunning, textured gold leaf finishes on interior surfaces. Ideal for artists, gilders, and decorative professionals, it adheres beautifully to concrete, stone, plaster, microcement, and more. Its gel-like consistency allows for sculptural effects, relief designs, and intricate detailing using brushes, palette knives, or trowels. You can lay it on thinly for light textured effects, or apply it thickly with tools like stencils to create embossed effects. 

Once dry (typically 4 hours), Archicoll provides an open gilding time of up to 72 hours for gold leaf and 12 hours for thicker metal leafs such as copper or imitation gold. Surfaces can even be reactivated with warm air within 5 days. Once applied the leaf can be pressed and polished up to a high shine by using the Kölner Instacoll Tissues. Archicoll is suitable for loose or transfer gold, silver, aluminium, and imitation metal leaf, it delivers rich, durable finishes for both contemporary and traditional designs.
