Additional Adhesives and Gilding Methods
Size and Gilder's Adhesives

 

Size refers to the adhesive material used to adhere gold, silver, copper or metal leaf to the surface being gilded. There are different forms of size depending on the gilding method; oil based, water based and 'water gilding'.

Permacoll Size

Developed by Kolner, Permacoll size dries to touch in 15 to 30 minutes and remains open for gilding for hours or even days. This high quality size produces excellent results with all types of metal leaf when applied to a non-porous interior surface.
