X-Press It Gold Size 250ml

Gold Size in a 250ml Bottle for Regular Gilding

X-Press It Gold Size 250ml gives crafters and decorators a larger bottle of water based size for applying metal leaf to bigger or repeated jobs.

According to the label it is flexible, clear drying and water based, with excellent holdout, and it is sold as an adhesive for gilding applications. X-Press It lists paper, cardboard, canvas, timber, glass and ceramics among suitable surfaces. One of the product photos shows the 250ml bottle among seashells covered in gold leaf, with a jar of leaf flakes nearby.

The larger bottle suits furniture accents, a run of frames or a workshop group where several people are sizing at once. Porous surfaces such as raw timber or card may need more than one coat, so the extra volume avoids running short partway through a piece.

Lay the size evenly with soft paint brushes, see the rest of our craft adhesives for frame, shell and furniture projects, and browse painting accessories for varnish, palettes and other finishing tools.
