Divolo Mixtion oil-based gilding adhesive, 12 hour

Divolo Mixtion 12 hour is a ready-to-use oil-based adhesive for applying gold leaf. Its longer waiting time lets you prepare an area the evening before gilding, for example a decorative panel or wall area.

Choose the size

You receive one glass bottle of 125 ml, 250 ml or 1 L, according to your choice. Gold leaf, brushes and gum turpentine are sold separately. The adhesive is ready to use and can be thinned with gum turpentine if needed, not water.

Apply a thin coat

Work on a suitable, dry, dust-free surface. Brush a thin, even coat over the area to be gilded. Try a sample with the same surface in the same working conditions first to establish your coat thickness and timing.

Waiting time and working window

At 25 °C, allow about 12 hours between applying the adhesive and laying gold leaf. The subsequent window for applying the leaf is about 3 hours. The 12-hour designation refers to waiting time, not a 12-hour working window. Above 25 °C, both times may be shorter; plan around your sample.

Clean brushes and continue

Clean brushes with gum turpentine. Choose the other materials to suit your gilding and finish. Explore gilding, mixed media and decoration.
