Review on 🎨 120ml Professional Quality Water Based Gilding Adhesive for Gold Leaf Sheets by Kristen Reid

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Dilute with water for a smoother application

The product is very viscous. So if you do fine restorations (I restored Swedish Gustavian Cartel watches) you need to be extra careful when applying gold. The sheet shows the thickness of the glue due to the brush strokes, even if you smudge a lot! Basically I had to remove and re-sand the first application of gold leaf. After the pieces were sanded again, I resorted to thinning the glue, barely dipping the brush. After I removed that bit, the app was MUCH smoother; so much so, in fact, that I didn't skip polishing. It also dries faster as a result. Another recommendation is

Pros
