INSTA-CLAY
A single process base for water gilding, Insta-Clay eliminates the
need for glue, gesso and bole. Developed by Kolner-GlanzGol-Gund to
meet the demands of the commercial producer of gilded objects, Insta-Clay
is used to prepare moldings and other items for gilding. This new
process replaces the comple and labor intensive steps associated with
traditional water gilding.
Insta-Clay is a cost effective, sprayable, water soluble acrylic resin
with pigments, producing excellent results on a wide range of gilding
projects.The high solids content guarantees excellent coverage when
applied with a low pressure sprayer. Gold and silver leaf are applied
using standard techniques of water gilding. The COLNASOL GEL SIZE
makes the appropriate gilder's liquor for water gilding over
Insta-Clay.
