Sealants are applied to metal leaf to protect its appearance. While pure gold leaf does not need to be sealed a sealant is usually applied to help insure that the leaf does not wear away over time. Composition and other leafs must be sealed to prevent oxidation and tarnishing.
Mona Lisa Leaf Adhesive can be used for metal leaf as well as other materials such as sand, glitter, and many other craft and home decor projects. Waterbased, slow drying gold leaf adhesive will stay tacky for up to 24 hours after application. The adhesive comes in a 2 oz. jar or 6 oz. spray can
Oil based gilding adhesives may be used for both interior and exterior gilding projects. Solvent - based.Rolco Quick-Dry Size will reach tack in 1-2 hours and will remain open for gilding for 1-2 hours. In very dry and warm environments, it may reach tack in as little as 30 minutes and the open time for gilding may be greatly reduced. It produces excellent results with metal leaf and is recommended for small projects or when time is limited. Allow to cure for 24 hours before sealing.
Rolco Slow-Set Size is recommended for projects that may require a longer open time for gilding than Quick-Dry will allow. It will reach proper gilding tack in 6-8 hours and will remain open for gilding with genuine gold leaf for an equal amount of time. The open time for gilding with metal leaf is usually less, as it is with other oil sizes. Allow to cure 24 hours before sealing.
