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.

I definitely love the color and I was able to get coverage using 8 full ounces

I definitely love the color and I was able to get coverage using 8 full ounces. The base coat is really thin so I used a white sealer and base before spraying. Hoping to get better coverage but I had to use the full 8oz to get proper coverage. I just witch the color coverage was better.

Great place

Great place.Have used them several times

gold pearl

I sprayed it over your cosmic silver with black base coat, about three passes on a 4x6 card. It gave it a nice tint of gold flake to it. Then I gave that 3 passes with fools gold candy. Experimenting for a stripe on a 2002 f350 that will be painted with your lush toffee.

Looks like what it's supposed to be

Looks like what it's supposed to be...metal flake and not glitter. This really pops with a silver metallic base. The flakes are really small which was perfect for my project and what you can expect from a rattle can. Flakes are suspended in a clear intercoat. Many people confuse this for a clear coat but it is not. It's more like clear paint. Only issue is that it goes fast so use carefully or buy 2 cans. Shake for 2 minutes, warm can in warm water for 10 minutes then shake for another 2 minutes. Had no issues with splatter or anything and it covers well.

It looks awesome great paint for the

Flakes worked fine

Flakes worked fine. However the tropical glitz blue flake gun that I bought a couple months ago to spray some other flakes absolutely sucked it would not spray any of the mixed flakes so I lost the mixedbatch zero stars!!!!!!
