Permacoll Gilding Size is a permanent contact adhesive on an acryl base. It is usable for interior applications only. It has more adhesive strength than the Instacoll Size and is, therefore, particularly well-suited for gilding with imitation gold, copper, & silver.  This high-quality adhesive ensures an exceptional shine for all metal leaves. A poliment gilding effect can also be easily imitated with the red Permacoll.

Permacoll Size is recommended as an adhesive for metal leaf on all non-porous surfaces, smooth or textured. Porous surfaces such as plaster, stucco, wood and wood composites should first be impregnated with Kolner Sealer 123A or Kolner Sealer P thinned 1: 0,5 with water. After the sealant is dry, apply Permacoll Size, unthinned, with a Kolner soft brush.
