Water Gold Size - 15ml

Water Gold Size is a high-quality, traditional adhesive specifically designed for gilding in illumination and fine art applications. Made with natural gums, this classic size provides a reliable surface for applying gold leaf with precision and ease. Its subtle yellow tint helps artists see where the size has been applied, ensuring even coverage and controlled application.

To use, simply paint a thin layer over the area to be gilded with a brush. The size will dry to the ideal tacky consistency in approximately 10-20 minutes, at which point gold leaf can be carefully applied for a flawless, luminous finish. If the surface becomes too dry before application, its stickiness can be easily reactivated by gently breathing over it.

Perfect for calligraphers, manuscript artists, and gilders, Water Gold Size provides excellent adhesion for creating stunning illuminated designs. Achieve professional-quality gilding with this time-honoured formula—add it to your toolkit today!
