The Easy-Gild system is a new, reliable way of achieving a high quality
gilded finish.
It can be used with gold, silver and metal leaf.
This system provides a superb shine or mirror finish without the need to
burnish.
1 - Apply at least two coats of Easy-Gild Gesso bole.
1a - Porous surfaces should be sealed with Easy-Gild
Base size diluted 15% with water if gesso bole is
not used.
2 - Apply two coats of Easy-Gild base size in total
with 30 mins between coats.
3 - Once the second coat is dry, apply the Easy-Gild
Activator and allow to dry.
4 - Place the transfer leaf face down and rub the back
using cotton wool.
5 - Rub with cotton wool over the gilded surface to
obtain a mirror finish.
6 - Distress and age using wire wool in the same way as
traditional water gilding.
Gold leaf surfaces will not need to be varnished but
shellac will have to be applied on metal leaf finishes to
prevent tarnishing.
