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. Use your finger or a brush to apply. We recommend waiting 12 hours before buffing. 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 top coat is recommended.
Gilders Paste Wax is awesome to show off architectural details. Gilder's Paste can be used inside and outside!
Use Paint Thinner or Turpentine if your paste arrives hard or becomes hard. The wax will shrink after hot filling at factory and again, could arrive hard as a puck and may arrive with cracks. Do not apply a top coat over the Gilders Paste Wax.
