Kölner Instacoll HA

 

Kölner Instacoll HA products are used for producing a BRIGHT gold, silver or palladium gilded surface. The heart of the process is Instacoll Base HA, which is available in yellow, clear and gray. Because the leaf will look like it has been burnished with an agate burnishing tool, some customers call Instacoll a “Liquid Burnisher”.

 

Instacoll Base HA is formulated for heaver gold, silver and palladium leaf. For lighter weight leaf, try regular Instacoll. For imitation leaf, consider using Kolner Permacoll HA.

 

After the Instacoll Base HA has set it can be gilded for up to an hour. For larger jobs, Instacoll Activator HA is used to re-activate the base. The activator can be used to activate the base for up to several months after it has been applied allowing you to complete your gilding project at a later time. The Instacoll Tool is used for pressing transfer leaf in to crevices or tight areas. Kolner Tissues can be used to push the gold leaf down into the base size and also to gently polish the gold leaf when finished. More information about the process can be found here.
