Shellac is used both to insulate porous surfaces prior to size application and to polish and subtly protect finished gold leaf. As compared to ordinary shellac, dewaxed shellac produces a more transparent and virtually colourless result once applied and dried.
DETAILS
Shellac in ready-to-use solution recommended to subtly protect and polish leaf gilding, both precious metal and imitation. Once dry it enhances surface warmth subtly.
DETAILS
The water-based protection provides excellent spreadability and adhesion on gilded surfaces, particularly with precious metals. Being free of synthetic components, it is gentler and alters the natural brightness of gilded surfaces less. It is UV resistant and does not yellow or flake, and is available in both gloss and matte versions. Ready to use, it is ideal for professionals, beginners, and hobbyists. Ideal for indoor gilding, yet also suitable for outdoor applications.
DETAILS
Gloss protective varnish used for the protection of gilded and silvered surfaces in both precious metal and imitation finishes, and as an anti-oxidizing treatment for silver.
Provides effective protection against scratches and abrasion. In the case of precious metals, apply after burnishing to achieve a particularly glossy effect.
Product suitable for transport.
Water-based shellac, suitable as a polish for precious metal leaf gilding and as a lacquer for furniture and frames. The resulting film is transparent, glossy, semi-rigid, and moderately amber-toned.
