Product Specification

A slow setting oil-based leaf adhesive specially designed for gilding all types of metal leaf on a wide variety of substrates. Tack will be reached in approximately 12 hours and
remain tacky for an additional 12 hours for gilding, depending on atmospheric conditions. Slow Set is ideal for larger projects when extended time is required. If less tack time is required, Slow Set may be mixed with our Quick Dry Size to achieve a wide variety of tack times. As an example: a 1:1 mixture will reach tack in about 3 hours and remain tacky for about the same time.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Surface preparation is the key to obtaining a good-looking and long-lasting
leafing project. Surfaces must be smooth and free of any dust, oils, wax and fingerprints. If applying size over a previously finished object, the surfaces must be cleaned and lightly sanded, and a small area should be tested to ensure compatibility. Porous surfaces should be filled with a sealer/primer that is compatible with the substrate. Dux primers are ideal for most projects. Please contact our technical department for recommendations.

APPLICATION OF SIZE

The size has been formulated to be used at the consistency provided by the manufacturer. If the user feels that thinning is necessary, mineral spirits may be added in small quantities. Size may be applied by brush, roller or spray. Best results are obtained with a thin even film of around 2 mils of coating thickness. As with any paint or coating, the size should be mixed prior to use. If brushing, any good quality natural bristle brush should be used, the self-leveling properties of the size eliminate the need to over brush the coating. If rolling, use a high quality short nap roller cover. When spraying, follow the equipment manufacturer recommendations.
