Pébéo Gédéo gilding adhesive, liquid or relief

Use Pébéo Gédéo Mixtion to apply metal leaf, metal flakes or mirror-effect transfer foil to your decoration. Choose the adhesive form for the effect you want: a flat application or raised lines and motifs.

Which version suits your project?

The 75 ml jar contains ready-to-use liquid gilding adhesive for brush application. The 37 ml tube contains ready-to-use relief paste, applied directly through the nozzle or with a spatula. You receive one jar or tube of your chosen version. Choose metal leaf, flakes, transfer foil and extra tools separately.

Prepare your motif

Work on a clean, dry surface such as wood, cardboard or canvas. Brush the liquid adhesive onto the areas you want to decorate. Use the relief tube to draw raised details; the paste shrinks a little as it dries, so allow for this when choosing the height. Try your pattern and layer thickness on a sample first.

Wait until the adhesive is ready

The liquid version becomes transparent and tacky after about 15 minutes. Relief paste takes about 1 to 2 hours, depending on layer thickness. Check for a transparent, tacky adhesive layer before applying the metal, even when the suggested time has passed.

Apply metal leaf or mirror transfer foil

Lay metal leaf gently on the adhesive and smooth it with a soft brush. For mirror-effect transfer foil, keep the coloured mirror side facing up: rub lightly, then carefully peel off the backing. Protect the finished gilding with a suitable protective varnish. Explore gilding, mixed media and decoration.
