Glue & Vanish

The glue stays sticky. School glue is beter. Delute it a little if needed. It will wipe off easilyThe sealer discolored the gold leafing. I used a spray sealer that doesn't effect the gold leafing.Multi sized brushes work better, especially very small ones to get into the cracks.

I followed the instructions. I was afraid the adhesive was going to dry too quickly, but it didn’t. It simply became tacky, making it easy to sprinkle the leaf and tap it into place with the included brush. The top coat went on quickly and easily as well. I’m very happy with the end result.

have done gold leaf for decades. these sheets immediately disintegrate making them impossible to apply/adhere. ended up going on like gold "dust", bad effect of cheap pot metal spray painted gold. seriously inferior look, not at all like gold leaf. left an insane mess that took forever to clean up.

I'm using this glue on paper with gold leaf material. It says to add water. It doesn't need it. The water is used to dilute the glue and help is spread farther for large pieces like wood or a wall. Used with any water the paper will instantly warp. Without water, it's perfect. Wait a min to dry, then apply. I noticed a lot of people had issues with their brushes getting hard. Just put the brush in water once you applied the glue. The glue washes away instantly. Super easy. If you keep it out the mofo will dry quick and hard and your brush will be useless. It's a juggling act but it's worth it.
