Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What surfaces can I use this gilding adhesive on?
A: This water-based gold leaf adhesive bonds to a wide range of surfaces including wood, glass, metal, canvas, and most painted or primed surfaces. It's ideal for furniture, picture frames, home décor items, art paintings, and handmade jewelry crafts.
Q: How long does the gilding adhesive take to become tacky and ready for gold leaf application?
A: After brushing on a thin, even coat, the adhesive typically becomes optimally tacky within 15–30 minutes at room temperature. Humidity and coat thickness can affect drying time, so wait until the surface is clear and slightly sticky before applying your gold or champagne foil sheets.
Q: Do I need a separate sealer after gilding, or is one included?
A: A 100g protective topcoat oil is included in this kit. Once your gold foil is applied and the adhesive is fully cured, brush on the protective varnish to lock in the gilded finish, prevent oxidation, and guard against light scratches for a lasting, professional-looking sheen.
Q: Is this gilding adhesive safe to use indoors?
A: Yes! The water-based formula contains no harsh solvents and produces minimal fumes, making it well-suited for indoor crafting in home studios, classrooms, or workshops. Always ensure adequate ventilation and keep out of reach of children.
