Divolo Mixtion alcohol-based gilding adhesive

Divolo Mixtion alcohol-based adhesive is for laying gold leaf on smooth, non-porous surfaces such as glass and metal. Spread the milky pink adhesive in a thin coat to create decorative metallic accents.

Choose the size

You receive one glass bottle of 125 ml, 250 ml or 1 L, according to your choice. A smaller bottle suits local details; a larger size suits more extensive or repeated work. Gold leaf, brushes, polishing tools and protective varnish are sold separately.

Prepare and apply

Choose a surface that tolerates water and suits this gilding technique. Try a sample with your chosen surface, gold leaf and finish first. For thinning, follow the instructions on the bottle. Brush on a thin, even coat.

When to lay the gold leaf

Allow about 15 to 30 minutes for the coat to dry ready for gold leaf. The film remains tacky for roughly 6 hours at 20 °C, during which you can lay the leaf. Check the tack before starting and use the times as a planning guide.

Choose the finish

Choose a protective gilding varnish that suits your gold leaf, surface and sample. Match polishing and finishing to the complete build-up. Explore gilding, mixed media and decoration.

Safe use

Highly flammable liquid and vapour. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flames; no smoking. Wear protective gloves and clothing and eye protection. Keep the bottle tightly closed, store in a cool, ventilated place and keep out of reach of children. Dispose of residues and packaging according to local waste rules.
