Pentart Mixtion water-based metal-leaf glue, 50 ml

Create shining metallic accents with Pentart Mixtion, a slow-drying water-based glue for metal leaf and metal flakes. The metal you apply supplies the decoration’s colour and shine.

What do you receive?

You receive one jar containing 50 ml of gilding glue. Metal leaf, flakes, brushes and finishing varnish are needed separately. Choose leaf for a continuous decoration or flakes for scattered accents.

Apply a thin layer

Apply a thin, even layer to the areas you want to gild. Let the glue dry until the layer becomes completely transparent. It is then ready for the leaf or flakes. Try a sample piece first to plan the layer thickness and pattern you want.

Add the metal

Carefully place the leaf or flakes on the transparent glue layer and smooth them gently into place. For loose flakes, use a dry brush and gently brush excess material away. Keep the metallic decoration within the areas where you applied glue.

Seal and choose your materials

Protect your work with a suitable solvent-based gloss varnish or Pentart Pouring Glaze, following the chosen finish’s instructions. This jar contains the glue; the metal decoration and finish are purchased separately. Find related materials in gilding, mixed media and decoration.
