Available in 100ml and 500ml bottles

 

Surface Preparation

The surfaces must be dry and free from dust and grease.

 

Application of Revisol

 

Instructions: Coat the surface with a thin layer of Revisol and allow to dry. Then apply the adhesive to the area that is to be gilded. Most adhesives such as Olmixtion, Instacoll, Signcoll adhere well to the surface through the thin layer of Revisol.

 

After the gilding has dried, the Revisol can be washed away with a soft wet (water) cloth. Goldleaf outside the gilded areas is stuck to the layer of Revisol and can be easily removed.

 

If you are working with stencils or a stencil film, you can work as follows: Coat the surface with a thin layer of Revisol. Let dry. Paste your Stencil. Wash away the layer of Revisol where the surface is visible in the stencil. These parts may be sand slightly (scotchbrite) when using Signcoll or Instacoll. Do not sand with Oil Mixtion. Paint the stencil with the adhesive for the gold leaf. Carefully remove the stencil before the adhesive dries. Apply the gold leaf and let dry. Then carefully wash away the Revisol. The lines of the gilding will be sharply defined on the surface. Always test the method first in a trial. Success depends on several factors and requires skill and experience.

 

Drying time of the Revisol is 1-2 hours depending on the ambient temperature and humidity.
