WHITE, FOR GILDING
CDO6500
It's a combination of traditional gesso with an acrylic polymer, added with a white pigment and additives that ensure flexibility, excellent sandability and long shelf life. It can be used for sizing, priming a canvas for painting, or creating a basecoat for the correct application of the gold leaf. Acrylic gesso can be coloured, by adding the correct quantities of Holzfarbe stain concentrate, or Waterborne Lead-Free Pigments of the COW series.

Apply as it is by brush, or diluted with a correct amount of water (max 15-20%) for spray application. If applied as basecoat for gold leaf application, it is suggested to colour the gesso reddishorange, to imitate the colour of red bole and enriching the tone of the applied gold leaf. For silver leaf dark or black tonalities are suggested.
Apply at least two or three coatings, waiting preferentially for each coat to dry.
Before the gold leaf application proceed with an accurate sanding process, in order to obtain a smooth surface. Start with coarse abrasive paper (grain 150-180) and continue sanding using step by step finer grain abrasive paper (350 - 600 - 1200), each time in crossed perpendicular directions.
Once the surface is perfectly smooth proceed with the application of the gilding size and of the gold/silver leaf.

Labeling of construction products
This label covers the French legislation relating to emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and the impact they have on indoor air quality after the product is brought into the room.
Labeling refers to the pollutants emitted once the products are spread and dried.
The IBR Green Building Institute had tested some of our products and determined that they correspond to the highest standards of the aforementioned French VOC legislation.
EMICODE EC1 - Low-emission building materials
Certified installation materials, adhesives and construction products
The EMICODE mark guarantees that the material has been tested and certified according to its emission level. Compared to 1997, low-emission building materials now have a TVOC value (total quantity of volatile organic compounds) from one hundred to one thousand times lower. The EMICODE mark is not issued if a building material is suspected of altering genetic makeup, causing cancer or impairing reproductive capacity.
APEO (alkylphenol ethoxylates)
APEOs (alkylphenol ethoxylates) are highly persistent chemicals, which are deposited in the tissues, penetrating, through them, into the food chain.
Recent studies demonstrate its toxicity and danger, as potential endocrine disruptors.
