{"product_id":"1-shot-fast-dry-gold-size","title":"Fast Dry Gold Size","description":"\u003cp\u003eProfessional gilding demands precise timing windows, and this oil-based size delivers exactly that control. Fast Dry Gold Size reaches tack in approximately one hour, quick enough to maintain workflow momentum without rushing your preparation. That elasticity matters when you're laying delicate leaf; the surface remains workable for engine turning up to eight hours after application, giving you genuine flexibility for detailed patterning work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe self-leveling formula eliminates brush marks that would telegraph through thin gold leaf, creating the smooth foundation essential for mirror-bright finishes. Oil-based chemistry provides the adhesive strength and open time that water-based products simply can't match, particularly for traditional techniques on sign work, frames, and decorative surfaces. You're working with the same formulation sign painters have relied on for decades, proven performance rather than reformulated shortcuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply with quality brushes in thin, even coats. The size should feel slightly tacky, not wet, when you begin laying leaf. That one-hour window lets you prep multiple pieces in sequence, working efficiently through projects that require consistent results across surfaces. For gilders who understand that timing and surface preparation determine success, this size provides the foundation everything else depends on.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1-Shot","offers":[{"title":"8 oz.","offer_id":48111557345509,"sku":"02004","price":36.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s02004.jpg?v=1769731732","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/1-shot-fast-dry-gold-size","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
