Both techniques are suitable for <strong>refinishing details freehand<\/strong>. Please refer to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manetti.com\/en\/gilding-academy\/\">Gilding Academy Section<\/a> for more detailed instructions. This type of gold is useful for <strong>retouching gilding, particularly on the wooden surfaces of furniture, frames and antique artifacts, <\/strong>as well as on paintings and icons. Prior to application, <strong>the <\/strong><strong>real gold powder<\/strong> must be <strong>mixed with a binding agent, <\/strong>such as oil-based size, dewaxed shellac or gum arabic, and then <strong>applied to the surface with a round tip brush<\/strong> for detailing or retouching, <strong>or with a flat tip brush <\/strong>for larger surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>For <strong>gilding with shell (or tablet) <\/strong>gold, pick up the amount of gold paint required with the tip of a moistened brush (the size of the brush will vary depending on the shape and size of the surface to be gilded) and <strong>apply directly to the surface<\/strong>. <strong>Our experts would be pleased to help you choose the most suitable product and application technique for your intended use<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p> <p class=\"wpsm-hide\" style=\"color: #c39f5f; font-size: 100%; text-align: left;\"> Read less<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To apply with a brush, powders and shells are the best formats for any retouching and for carved or highly irregular surfaces.
