Annie Sloan Gold Size is a water-based adhesive designed specifically for applying metal leaf and bronze powders to furniture and decorative surfaces, giving you the confidence to add a touch of gold, silver or copper to your projects quickly, cleanly and beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes Gold Size so satisfying to use is its clever drying process. Apply a thin layer to your surface and watch it transform, first white, then purple, then finally transparent. That moment of clarity is your cue: the Size is now perfectly tacky and ready for metal leaf. No guesswork, no rushing, no wasted leaf. Just a reliable, forgiving adhesive that stays sticky once dry, giving you the time and control to position your leaf exactly where you want it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAvailable in a 100ml tub, Gold Size is concentrated and efficient, a little goes a long way, making it ideal for detailed gilding work on furniture, picture frames, mouldings and decorative accessories.
