Dewaxed water-based shellac
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.
DETAILSThe type of protection you use will vary depending on the material of which the surface is made (wood, plastic, glass, metal, etc…), the environment in which the gilding is carried out (internal or external) and the metal used (precious metal leaf or imitation metal leaf). Select the ideal product among synthetic protections, acrylic protections and shellac (used in the gilding sector for polishing the gold leaf, as a light surface protection and as a sealant for porous surfaces before oil gilding).

DETAILSGloss 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.
Catalyst to be used in combination with the Outdoor Protection. The catalysis ratio is 20%, meaning one part catalyst for every five parts protection. It is important to catalyze only the amount of protection that will be used, as any remaining residue will tend to dry and become unusable.
DETAILSIdeal for protecting gilding in outdoor environments, it preserves brilliance and ensures high protection. Free of synthetic components, UV-resistant, it does not yellow or flake. Suitable for gilding in humid environments, both indoors and outdoors. Pre-catalysis is always required before application.
DETAILSThe 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.
DETAILSShellac in ready-to-use solution recommended to give shine and light protection to gilding, both precious metal and imitation. Once dry it gives a warm tone to the surface, a grade browner compared with dewaxed shellac.
DETAILSShellac is used both to insulate porous surfaces prior to size application and to polish and subtly protect finished gold leaf. Once dry it enhances surface warmth subtly.

DETAILSShellac 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.
DETAILSSynthetic protection is a glossy protective varnish used to protect gold and silver leaf and as an anti-oxidant for silver.
