Oil and Acrylic Gold Size

Size is the adhesive which is commonly used for applying gold (and other) leaf in "oil" gilding and is available as either water / acrylic gold size or oil based gold size. Drying times of 24 hour, 12 hour, 3 hour and 1-2 hour are available in the oil based size and these times represent the time you have left to work on the size after it has reached the right level of tackiness to take the leaf.
