Water Based Size | Dux 8oz


$19.95


Description

Dux Water-Based Size is a water-based gilding adhesive and sizing specifically designed for interior leaf projects requiring extended tackiness. Ready for leaf application just 25 minutes after being applied to your desired surface, this size maintains its tackiness for an impressive 24 to 36 hours. Its mild odor and non-flammable nature make it a safer and more dependable alternative to traditional oil-based sizes. Designed for use at full strength, Dux Water-Based Size should not be diluted. Upon curing, it forms a durable surface, and if there is expected contact with the gilded surface, sealing is recommended.

While we do not provide color samples, we do offer small 2oz RTS bottles and 1.5oz metal flake jars for purchase.

  • Usage Guidelines

    Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or debris. Stir the Dux Water-Based Size thoroughly before use.

    Application: Apply the size evenly to the desired surface using a brush or roller. Allow the size to dry for approximately 25 minutes until it reaches the appropriate tackiness for leaf application.

    Gilding: Carefully apply the leaf to the tacky surface, using a soft brush to smooth it out and ensure proper adhesion. Overlap edges if necessary to ensure full coverage.

    Drying and Curing: The size will remain tacky for 24 to 36 hours, providing ample time to complete your gilding project. Allow the size to cure completely.

    Sealing: If there is expected contact with the gilded surface, apply a suitable sealer to protect and preserve the gilded finish.

    Storage: Store any unused size in a cool, dry place to maintain its efficacy and prevent contamination.

  • Key Features

    Quick Leaf-Ready Time: Ready for leaf application in just 25 minutes.

    Extended Tack Time: Maintains tackiness for 24 to 36 hours.

    Mild Odor: Less intrusive, making for a more pleasant working environment.

    Non-Flammable: Safer alternative to oil-based sizes.

    Full Strength Use: Designed to be used without dilution for optimal performance.

    Durable Surface: Forms a strong and lasting surface when cured.

    Interior Projects: Ideal for interior gilding projects requiring extended work times.

Great color, very even spray cap, will be purchasing again. 😁

I meant to buy the .008 flake. This is really nice flake. I used it on a different project.

This color is poppin!! Love it.

Love the final coat after 4 coats this color is awesome. After clear coat it gets a little darker but not too much. Would like to see single step in this color that way it holds its true brightness and no need for clear.
