Water-soluble gold leaf adhesive

Product Name: Water-soluble Gold Leaf Adhesive (Special Water-based Adhesive for Gold Leaf Application) Composition: Water-based synthetic adhesive Solvent: Water Coverage: 12-15 square meters/1000 c.c. Product Introduction, Usage Instructions, and Precautions: 1: Water-soluble gold leaf adhesive is specifically designed for applying genuine gold leaf, silver leaf, copper leaf, and aluminum leaf. It offers strong adhesion to various metals and non-metallic materials (such as wood, plastic, glass, marble, etc.). The metal leaf surface remains smooth and glossy, making it particularly suitable for large-scale continuous foil application in interior building projects. This product is non-toxic, odorless, environmentally friendly, and meets environmental protection standards. 2: Ensure the surface is dry, dust-free, and free from wax or grease. If the surface has small holes, dents, cracks, or untreated wood or plastic, apply a layer of isolation primer first. Once dry, lightly sand the surface with fine sandpaper. 3: This product can be applied using a brush, cotton pad, or spray gun. Apply a thin layer of adhesive, and after 1 hour, the foil can be applied. 4: Drying time may vary depending on the working environment. To achieve optimal results, the adhesive can be diluted with a large amount (10-30%) of water, depending on the specific situation. 5: Use clean water for dilution. Do not pour unused adhesive back into the original container to avoid affecting its shelf life. 6: This product provides unique and reliable long-term adhesion (up to 48 hours), making it convenient for both mass production and highly delicate processing. Usage: Dilute directly with water to achieve the appropriate solid content. Can be sprayed or brushed. Storage: Shelf life is 1 year for oil-based gold leaf adhesive and 6 months for water-based gold leaf adhesive. If stored long-term without layering or mold, it can still be used. Store at room temperature and avoid freezing. Do not use if the ambient temperature is below 10°C. Product Applications: Suitable for indoor decorative gold leaf projects: hotels, nightclubs, ceilings, trim gold leaf application, furniture gold leaf application, sign gold leaf application, villas, and indoor/outdoor wall surfaces, ceilings, column capitals, Roman columns, etc. Ideal for creating various European and antique-style effects, it is widely used in star-rated hotels, nightclubs, and villa interiors, making it a rare decorative foil for both indoor and outdoor applications! It can also be used for 3D gold leaf art, flat gold leaf designs,浮雕 gold leaf paintings, gold book production, sign gold leaf application, craft gold leaf application, and decorative gold leaf application. Gold Leaf Application Process Overview: 1: Prepare the workpiece: Sand the area to be gilded. For wooden workpieces, apply a coat of primer and sand again after drying. For walls, ensure the surface is smooth. 2: Apply adhesive: Apply a thin layer of "water-based gold leaf adhesive" or "oil-based adhesive" to the area where gold leaf will be applied. Use a spray gun for at least two coats or apply manually with a brush, ensuring no areas are missed. Repair any missed or unevenly coated spots. 3: Apply gold leaf: Once the adhesive is slightly dry (tip: use a hairdryer to speed up drying for water-based adhesive, as it evaporates quickly), place the gold leaf sheet onto the adhesive-coated area. Use a soft brush to press the gold leaf firmly against the surface through the backing paper, then gently peel off the backing paper. 4: Check for gaps: Inspect the gilded surface for any missed spots. Repair gaps by applying additional gold leaf using a soft brush (note: use dry gold leaf for repairs). 5: Polishing: After ensuring no gaps remain, use a soft brush to gently rub the gold leaf surface in a circular motion (apply pressure along the seams) to blend the connections and enhance the shine. 6: Apply protective coating: After 8 hours, spray or brush a layer of protective coating over the gold leaf surface. It is recommended to use a specialized protective coating for foil applications. There are two types of foil adhesives: water-based and oil-based, each suitable for different applications. Water-based adhesive is ideal for flat surfaces, providing a smooth and glossy finish. However, note that copper leaf is prone to oxidation, so avoid using water-based adhesive for copper leaf applications. Oil-based adhesive offers stronger adhesion but may leave texture patterns on flat surfaces, making it less smooth compared to water-based adhesive.
