Kölner Fine Detail Kit - Kintsugi

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.

Kölner Signcoll is an adhesive for gold leaf that is specially designed for pinstriping techniques, lettering, stencil work, painting, decoration, faux finishes, hand-painted wallpaper, etc.  Quick and effective work is possible, the adhesion is perfect and thin lines can be applied. The Kölner Signcoll can be diluted with water and adjusted to the type of brush (hair type) and the substrate. Gilding with Kölner Signcoll is virtually scratch-proof and gives gold leaf a high gloss. After applying this adhesive, gilding can begin after approx. 1 - 2 hours (depending on the surface). The adhesive strength of the Kölner Signcoll remains for approx. 4 - 12 hours depending on the ambient conditions. It is not suitable for larger projects, such as architectural gilding, where the Instacoll gilding system is recommended.  Available containers: 100 ml, 500 ml Downloads Verarbeitungsanleitung (Deutsch) Processing Instructions (English) Sicherheitsdatenblatt (Deutsch) Safety Data Sheet (English)
