Mecca Varnish – 250ml is a high-quality, pre-mixed varnish made from natural resins dissolved in an alcohol solution, specifically designed for use over silver leaf. When applied, it dries to a rich amber hue, giving the silver underneath a warm, golden tone that enhances its brilliance and depth. This traditional varnish is ideal for gilding projects, restoration work, and decorative finishes that require a timeless, antique effect.
To use, first complete your silver gilding, including any burnishing or final surface work. Then, apply Mecca Varnish using a brush or pad, allowing each coat to dry fully before applying additional layers. Multiple coats can be added to achieve the desired depth of colour, with a recommended drying time of at least 3 hours at 20°C. The varnish can be diluted with pure alcohol for adjustments or for cleaning tools after application.
For best results, store Mecca Varnish – 250ml in a cool, dry place away from light and heat. Elevate your gilding projects with this exquisite, golden-toned finish—try Mecca Varnish today!
