Gilders Size and Adhesives

We offer a variety of different gilding adhesives.  Oil base fast and slow size are excellent for all outdoor and indoor applications.  Water Based size is excellent for small and indoor projects with a quick application time.  Rabbit skin glue is used when making gesso and clay bole for water gilding, and gelatin is used for water gilding on glass. We also carry specialty sizes such as Kölner Instacol, which produces very shiny leaf, Kölner Miniatum, which can be used for gilding flexible surfaces such as leather and cloth, and Kölner Ceramic, for gilding on ceramic and porcelain.
