X-Press It Gold Size 250ml is a professional, water-based adhesive designed for applying genuine or imitation metal leaf with a clean, even finish. It is non-toxic and easy to use, making it ideal for gilding projects at home, in the classroom, or in the studio. The formula stays tacky for an extended working time, so you can lay leaf calmly and accurately without rushing.

Use it for frames, signage, craft projects, artworks, furniture accents, and decorative finishes. Apply a thin, even coat, allow it to reach tack, then place your metal leaf and burnish gently for a smooth, luminous result.
