## Questions & Answers

**Q: This product dries clear and i find i miss spots when applying it. can it be tinted? if so, with what medium?**
A: I don't know about this particular product but gold leaf adhesive is typically tinted a blue color so you'll be able to see any spots you've missed before it dries. And you don't want to let it dry completely. It should be slightly tacky to the touch

**Q: Is this suitable for fabric? If not, does anyone know what would be suitable?**
A: Hello,no this product is not good on fabrics.The fabric would absorb to much of the adhesive and would wash out the fabric.Gold acrylic paint is your best bet. Most acrylics have to be heat setted,but some say it's permanent once dry.Good luck.

**Q: Does anyone know what the coverage is? I'm doing 9 s.f. of flat panel and trying to figure out how much to order. Thanks for  any input.**
A: For a flat panel spray is probably better. This is more for detail oriented work.

**Q: It appears this produce is "water' based. Im concerned it will freeze during shipping, since temps are running below freezing here. What say you?**
A: It will freeze happened to me last winter

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use, cures quickly, strong adhesive
*by K***R on November 22, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My best expert with gold leaf glue
*by B***D on December 18, 2025*

Good quality glue for gold leaf. I’ve tried many and this is the best

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You need this with metallic Foil
*by D***B on May 25, 2024*

This worked great. I never needed to wait 30 minutes for it to turn clear. I suggest practicing on something less important first. I watched many YouTube videos and people used tweezers , thus tearing the foil up to the put on large spaces. Drop the tweezers. Put the Mona Lisa Sizing on your item and set aside. If your foil is inside paper holders , lay out the amount you think you’ll need with the flimsier side of paper facing upwards. Now carefully fold the protective paper back half way and crease to keep open. Do this for several or all of your planned foil pieces. When the sizing turns clear, carefully pick up a foil ‘holder and have the side that’s half exposed facing outwards. Apply that edge to your item to be gilded. Then you can tilt item and move hand releasing the rest of the foil. Use smooth paper to slide over foil to smooth. You may want more area exposed at the beginning. It will definitely look better than if done with tweezers in small bits. Also buy the Speedball Varnish to seal your work after the glue has completely dried. It’s an important step and dries quickly.
