Maimeri idea oro pulment red 125ml

IDEA ORO-758. Bole is a thick dense mixture composed of very fine clay and rabbit glue dissolved in water. Dilute with hot water and apply warm after slight heating in a double boiler to obtain the right fluidity for use. Red bole is the tint most common in iconography. The color of the Bole has an influence on gilding tone because it seeps through the leaf, creating different glints. Apply a thin, uniform layer to the entire surface to be gilded, using a very soft brush. Wait until it completely dries (about one hour] and then coat with another two layers, allowing each to dry. When the third layer is completely dry, smooth the surface with a rough cloth to remove any imperfections that could tear the leaf. Make sure no accumulations form in the inlays of the object to gild. If the base has already been prepared with Sizing, one coat of Bole is sufficient, but coverage must be complete.
