Charbonnel 75ml Oil Based Gilding Mix 3H Lead Free – Gold Size

Lefranc & Bourgeois Charbonnel Gilding Mix Gold Size is a clear, traditional, natural oil-based size that is made in France.

LeFranc & Bourgeois Charbonnel has an international reputation of being the best oil size available, with experienced gilders demanding LeFranc for their most important projects.
It has superior levelling and resistance properties and consistent characteristics.

Oil sizes are ready to gild when you tap your knuckle against the surface without disturbing the size or it coming away with any residue. A soft hair brush is a must to produce a smooth even surface. Brushes are best cleaned with mineral spirits.

Porous surfaces should be sealed to create a smooth surface for gilding.

Lefranc & Bourgeois Charbonnel Gilding Mix Gold Size 3 Hour Lead Free reaches tack in 3-5 hours depending on film thickness, temperature and humidity. After reaching the proper gilding tack, it will remain open for gilding with genuine gold leaf for 4-6 hours. Allow the gilded surface to cure one week before sealing or glazing. Always stir the size before use.

Lefranc & Bourgeois Charbonnel Gilding Mix Gold Size 12 Hour Lead Free reaches tack in 12-14 hours depending on film thickness, temperature and humidity. After reaching the proper gilding tack, it will remain open for gilding with genuine gold leaf for 8-12 hours. Allow the gilded surface to cure one month before sealing or glazing. Always stir the size before use.
