Description
Rabbit skin glue in grain creates a strong bond between gold leaf and gesso layers. Rabbit skin glue is produced from shreds of rabbit skin, which are residues from the production of rabbit skins. It is more elastic than other skin glues but has less adhesive strength. This is not a disadvantage for priming and gilding techniques.
To prepare an effective mixture of rabbit skin glue, follow these instructions:
- Add 100g of rabbit skin glue to 1 litre of water and soak overnight.
- The following day, put in a double boiler and heat slowly until all the particles are dissolved.
- Do not overheat; about 50 degrees is the best temperature.
- Once all the air bubbles have disappeared, leaving the mixture to cool down, it is ready to be used.
- After use, put the remaining mixture in a refrigerator to last longer; do not use the mixture after seven days.
Recommended brush is Kölner Broad Golden Synthetic Brush, Black Handle
