Gold Size from Annie Sloan is a high quality, water-based glue specially developed for gilding and metal accent work. It is the ideal base if you want to work with metal leaf, impact metal or bronze pigments and value control, cleanliness and an even result.

The special feature of Gold Size is that the adhesive retains a sticky surface after drying. This means there is no time pressure as with traditional adhesives: you can apply Gold Size at your leisure, allow it to dry and then apply metal leaf or powder exactly when it suits you. This makes it particularly user-friendly – even for intricate or detailed work.

Gold Size is ideal for gilding furniture, frames, ornaments, carvings, stencil motifs or decorative accents. It also offers reliable adhesion for mixed media projects, upcycling work and artistic surfaces without attacking the underlying paint.

Thanks to its water-based formula, Gold Size has a low odor, is easy to apply and can be cleaned with water while still wet. It can be applied with a fine brush or sponge and enables clean edges and controlled placement of the metallic effects.

In combination with Chalk Paint™ or other water-based paints, Gold Size unfolds its full potential: after applying the metal leaf or bronze pigments, the effects can be further refined if required, for example by gentle polishing or subsequent sealing with wax or varnish.

Gold Size is therefore an indispensable tool for anyone who wants to add a touch of luxury, depth and handcrafted sophistication to their projects – from subtle highlights to expressive gilding.
