Professional Insight
In gilding, the material and method are inseparable. The right leaf must be matched with the right adhesive, preparation system, surface condition, and level of protection.
Genuine gold, imitation leaf, oil size, water-based size, primers, sealers, bole, gesso, and burnishers each serve a specific purpose. Choosing the correct system at the beginning helps prevent adhesion problems, tarnishing, uneven finish quality, and unnecessary material waste.
