This is a specific compound for gilding based on gesso and rabbit glue. The gesso is an ultra-fine, impalpable powder that makes the impasto soft. Sizing is a fundamental step in gilding because it prepares a base suitable for applying the leaf. The surface must be perfectly smooth so that the leaf does not take on any imperfections from the base or tear. Dilute with hot water and apply warm after slightly heating it in a double boiler so it has the consistency of milk. Use a very soft brush and allow the primer to dry completely between one coat and the next, sanding the surface with very fine sandpaper before applying the next coat. Optimal base preparation requires at least three coats of Sizing. Ancient craftsmen used up to five.
