Gilding Size: Glues for gold and metal leaf for sale

Size is the common name assigned to the adhesives used for the application and gluing of the leaf, both in precious metal and imitation metal.

Available in different basic formulations (water, alcohol, oil), the oil gilding sizes present in the range offered by Giusto Manetti Battiloro allow the application of the leaf on different types of surfaces and for gilding intended for both internal and external environments:

– water-based size for surfaces with medium porosity, such as wood, plaster, stucco and paper;
– alcohol-based size for smooth and compact surfaces such as metal, plastic and glass;
– oil-based size for gilding exterior surfaces.

Universal Size

Adhesive for outdoor gilding, ideal for applying precious metals to stone, metal and wood surfaces. Non-flammable and safe for transport, it provides results identical to traditional varnish-based size. Universal Size must always be diluted with turpentine.
