Gilding Varnish for Gold Leaf Foil Sheets

Finally a transparent protective oil varnish is applied to protect the gold leaf surface. It is not easy to lose color and fade, and can better protect your artwork.

Gold Leaf Application & Protection Instructions:

Drying Time After Leaf Application:
After applying the gold leaf, allow it to set for 15–30 minutes before applying any protective coating.

First Coat :

Lightly spray the first layer of gold leaf protection varnish.

Do not spray too thickly—a fine, even mist is best.

Use a cross-spray technique (horizontal then vertical passes) to ensure even coverage.

Wait Before Second Coat:
Allow the first coat to dry for 5 minutes.

Second Coat – Final Finish:

Apply a second even spray of the protective varnish.

This coat should be slightly fuller to enhance gloss and surface hardness.

Ensure even coverage to prevent streaking or drips.
