Kölner Classic Poliment

Product information "Kölner Classic Poliment"

 

Poliment is also known as bole – a clay-like substance. It is applied to the prepared surface, usually gesso. Gesso is a mixture of chalk and glue. The gold is then applied. The poliment enhances
the tone and lustre of the gold during the polishing/burnishing process. Remove with glue (skin glue or rabbit glue), gelatine or egg whites before application.
Every gilder usually develops its own formula. Poliment is available in „wet“, this is said it is already processed with water to a paste; as well as into „dry“, what must be still crushed and processed
with distilled water. A further construction is then carried out.

Available packaging unit: 1 kg

Available colours: black, oxydred, yellow, white, armenian red, ochre, blue

Leaf thickness: Standard | Packaging unit: 25 leaves | Size: 80 x 80 mm | execution: loose
Gold leaf in first class quality from our own production Gold leaf, loose The gold leaves are placed in paper booklets, loosely inlaid in 25 compartments, one for each leaf. To cut the leaf, one may take it from the booklet with the gilding knife and place it on the gilding cushion or drop it directly from the booklet onto the gilding cushion. Then, pick up the leaf with the gilder’s tip and place it onto the prepared surface. Gold leaf, patent (normal or lightly pressed) The individual gold leaves are pressed onto a tissue paper. One uses patent gold, also called tempest gold, when gilding outdoors. The tissue paper is larger than the gold leaf, thus it may be more easily handled. It is also possible to cut the patent leaves into desired shapes/forms with sissors. The leaves are placed onto the prepared surface (Instacoll system / oil gilding = mixtion), and carefully rubbed with cotton wool or Kölner tissue drapery. The tissue paper may then be removed as the gold leaf will adhere to the surface / object. For exterior gilding, we recommend from 23,75 cts on.
