Patina on an acrylic base. It is suitable for simulating the ageing effect of gilded surfaces. It creates high contrast and vivid gilding. It is ideal for all kinds of gold and metal leaves, using all adhesive techniques.
With Permacoll Patina, you can apply it directly to a gilded surface if you desire an aged appearance. The surface it’s used to won’t need any further varnish to seal the metal leaf, as the binder in the Patina provides a protective shield against oxidation, ensuring the longevity of your work.
How to apply Permacoll Patina
- Use the microfibre cloth or the gilder’s cotton to brush over the surface and move in all directions.
- Once done, use a new microfibre cloth to apply an additional coat on areas where the ageing effects must be especially apparent.
- Discard unused solutions, and clean up brushes with warm soap and water.
