White bole (gilder clay) 125 ml, Apa Polska. Brand: Renesans. Made in Poland More info...

Fine gilder's clays are in the form of a paste which is finally ground in the traditional manner between granite rollers. The manufacturing process ensures top quality and performance in use.

Before use, mix with a solution of lukewarm rabbit skin glue size or gelatin size, one volume of gilder's clay to two volumes of glue size. For best results, apply two or more coats of this solution onto a perfectly smooth substrate, such as gesso. When dry, remove dust and apply gold leaf. After burnishing, the clay becomes visible through the fine leaves of gold.

The gilding process sees covering a surface with a metal layer imitating gold. The aim of gilding is to provide the decorated objects with the noble appearance, splendour, and values of gold at a considerably lower price. Gilding materials include gold, silver, bronze, tin, zinc, aluminium, or metal alloys (so-called schlagmetal), applied with various techniques as leaf, power, paste, or paint. There are two basic ways of gold leaf gilding: pulment gilding and mixtion gilding. Pulment, or bolus, is an adhesive, which is polished and used to apply leaf layers by moistening the base with a layer of alcohol. Gilding on mixtion, which is a specially prepared oily varnish, sees adhesion of gold leafs in a way that their edges barely overlap and subsequent polishing of the gilded surface with specially framed precious stones.
