The Instacoll Tool is a double-ended tool with shaped tips made of elastic rubber, designed for pressing gold and silver transfer leaf into indentations when gilding uneven surfaces.

Liquid Leaf Metallic Paint

Starting at: £12.50

A remarkable gilding paint that contains its own red primer and film of lustrous gold, premixed into a single liquid. It flows easily onto the surface with no brush marks, forming a beautiful, lustrous finish. It is so controllable that it can be used with a striping brush or ruling pen for fine lines and scrolls. Liquid Leaf can be used on wood, metal, glass, ceramics, papier-mache and cardboard. It can also be used as an ink. One colour of Liquid Leaf can be used over another once dry. For air brushing all colours can be thinned with the Brush Bath. This easy-to-control one-step paint gives a brilliant sheen without brassiness, a permanent finish more closely resembling traditional leafing. A 30ml bottle will cover approximately 2sq/m.

Clear Dewaxed Shellac

Starting at: £9.20

Shellac is a natural resin that is deposited by the female lac insect on the branches of trees in India and Thailand. It is soluble with alcohol, but not with mineral spirits or turpentine. It forms a tough yet flexible film, with many applications. It is suitable as a top coat for gilding when applied thinly, a sealant for porous surfaces, an isolating layer for tempera paintings, a base for pigmented inks, a protective layer for collograph plates, and a warm varnish for wooden floors and furniture. As it is prone to darkening with age, it is not recommended as a varnish for oils, and its solubility can reduce over time. There are various grades of shellac. When mixed with alcohol, it may initially form a cloudy mixture, due to traces of wax in the shellac, but this should become clear once it has dried. The highest grades of shellac are Clear Dewaxed Shellac, which has been de-coloured using the carbon filtering method, Lemon Shellac, and Orange Shellac, which are pale in colour. Button Shellac is less refined and therefore produces a reddish varnish. It was, in fact, widely used as a red dye before synthetic dyes became available. Learn More
