Genuine silver powder, can be mixed with gum arabic to form pellets of shell silver or it can be brush applied to a 'sized' surface.
Silver is prone to tarnishing is most decorative applications and some care must be taken in its application to ensure the best possible finish. We recommend the use of acrylic size and lacquer, where possible, when working with silver. For sealing and protecting silver leaf we highly recommend Robersons Crystal Clear Shellac Varnish.
