Wax paste, Gilders Paste®, pkg/1-ounce tin, rich gold.

Gilders Paste® is a wax-based medium to accent or color various backgrounds including wood, metal, baked polymer clay, ceramic, leather and more. Apply with finger (gloves recommended), brush, cloth or sponge to create a myriad of effects. Colors can be mixed or layered for an endless palette of designs.

Paste dries to the touch in 10-15 minutes with a recommended complete dry time of 12-24 hours. Once dry, polishing with a soft cloth will bring out a luster finish. Applying a water-based acrylic topcoat is recommended. If desired, designers can thin out with paint thinner or mineral spirits to transform the highly concentrated paste to a preferred consistency. Use in a well-ventilated area. A little Gilders Paste® goes a long way; a 1-ounce tin covers over 30 feet—that's a lot of applications!

Colors may vary slightly.

Please note that this product may arrive slightly dried, giving it a cracked appearance or pulling away from the sides of the container. This wax paste has an endless shelf life and if it dries and cracks you can easily refresh Gilders Paste. Just mix in a few drops of paint thinner, mineral spirits or turpentine. Place the drops in one area and add more paste or thinner as needed to produce the quantity or viscosity desired. Depending on the amount of time the paste has sat, this procedure can take 1–10 minutes. There is no need to mix the whole tin at once since Gilders Paste® wax goes a very long way.
