Kölner Rapid Stone Mason is specifically developed for stone mason gilding. The adhesive is applied undiluted in two layers with a brush. After approximately 15 minutes of drying (depending on the thickness of the Rapid layer, temperature, and relative humidity), you can apply a second layer of Rapid or start gilding. Beware that the Rapid layer must be completely dry before gilding. After that, you have three days of open time to make a high-quality gilding.
If the surface is strongly absorbing, several adhesive layers can be applied. Ensure the first layer is always completely dry before painting the next layer.
Sealing the stone is then no longer necessary. Working with Kölner Rapid is comfortable and safe and will quickly feel natural. Work outdoors can be done fast yet with high quality, for example, on-site or/and at the cemetery.
Kölner Rapid can also be sprayed on large surfaces after diluting with no more than 8 % distilled water. A low-pressure sprayer with a 1 – 1.5 mm nozzle size is recommended. Kölner Rapid can also be applied with a brush.
Rapid Stone colour: Available in yellow or clear; drying time is only 15 minutes, and open time is up to 8 hours, guaranteed.
