Water Based Size | Dux 8oz


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.

  • 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.

Primer

I like it

So seductive, my girlfriend was excited

I have seen advertisements for Tropical Glitz paints for a while and finally pulled the trigger on purchasing some Ready to Spray airbrush colors. I have to say that although the colors look amazing in the photos and videos, once you spray these paints you are at an OMG level of impressed. I have been airbrushing the finish on scale model car kits for 45 years and am very happy to have bought these paints. They lay down smooth without clogging the spray tip so there is no spitting. After proudly showing the finished paint job to my girlfriend and excitingly explaining how it painted smooth with no spitting, she replied with she doesn't spit either! Thank you, Tropical Glitz!
