Oil Size 3 Hour 250ml
250 ml can (8.4 oz.) A traditional, clear, natural oil-based size made in France, LeFranc & Bourgeois has earned the reputation of being the best oil size available. Experienced gilders request LeFranc for their most important projects. LeFranc size has superior leveling properties and the most predictable characteristics.
LeFranc 3 Hour Size reaches tack in 3-5 hours, depending on film thickness, temperature, and humidity. After reaching the proper gilding tack, it will remain open for gilding with genuine gold leaf for 4-6 hours. The open time for gilding with metal leaves may be less since metal leaves are heavier. Allow the gilded surface to cure one week before sealing or glazing. Always stir LeFranc size before use. The driers in LeFranc size settle to the bottom of the container and must be stirred to produce a blended product.
Oil sizes are ready to gild when your knuckle taps the surface without disturbing the size or leaving residue. Mineral spirits can thin oil sizes up to 10 percent, reducing drying time. A soft hair brush will produce a smooth, even surface. Brushes are best cleaned with mineral spirits.
Porous surfaces should be sealed to create a smooth surface for gilding. Shellac is recommended for sealing gilded surfaces on interior work.
