This water-based protection offers excellent spreadability and adhesion on gilded surfaces, especially precious metals, but also on imitation leaf. Since it contains no synthetic components, it is gentler and less likely to alter the natural brilliance of gilded surfaces. It is UV-resistant and will not yellow or flake. Ready to use, it is ideal for professionals, beginners, and hobbyists. Ideal for interior gilding, it is also suitable for exterior applications.
Composition
One-component, water-based, clear polyurethane varnish. This non-flammable product can also be shipped by air.
How to use
Before applying the protection, the surface must be clean, dry, and free of grease and dust. The ready-to-use product must be mixed thoroughly and applied with a brush (the "Perla" and "Ambra" synthetic bristle brush series), spray gun, or tampon, avoiding buildup and paying attention to edges and corners. After approximately 4-6 hours, apply a second coat. The product will be completely dry after approximately twenty-four hours.
Coverage
10–14 m2/liter.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place, closed in its container and away from direct sources of light and heat. The ideal environment should have temperatures between 15 and 25°C and relative humidity no higher than 50%.
Further information
Dilution percentage, application method, and applied quantity can significantly affect workability times. Experimentally determine the most appropriate application methods based on the substrate and the desired result.
