Charbonnel Oil Based Gold Size 3 Hour

• Traditional oil-based gilding adhesive (mixtion) by Charbonnel, ideal for applying gold, silver and metal leaf with a professional-quality finish.
• Working time: apply metal leaf after 1–3 hours (at 18–20°C and 50–60% humidity), when the surface becomes tacky without leaving residue on the fingers.
• Excellent adhesion and uniformity, providing a stable base for smooth, durable gilding results even in demanding applications.
• Viscosity adjustment: can be diluted up to 10% with white spirit – note that this alters the open time and tack stage.
• Environment-sensitive performance: temperature, humidity, and leaf thickness significantly affect application timing (thicker leaves reduce waiting time).
• Surface preparation: for porous substrates, priming with shellac is recommended to ensure optimal adhesion and even coverage.
• Application tip: thorough stirring before use is essential for consistent texture and performance.
