Finally a transparent protective oil varnish is applied to protect the gold leaf surface. It is not easy to lose color and fade, and can better protect your artwork.

Gold Leaf Application & Protection Instructions:

1. Drying Time After Leaf Application:
   After applying the gold leaf, allow it to set for 15–30 minutes before applying any protective coating.

2. First Coat :

   • Lightly spray the first layer of gold leaf protection varnish.

   • Do not spray too thickly—a fine, even mist is best.

   • Use a cross-spray technique (horizontal then vertical passes) to ensure even coverage.

3. Wait Before Second Coat:
   Allow the first coat to dry for 5 minutes.

4. Second Coat – Final Finish:

   • Apply a second even spray of the protective varnish.

   • This coat should be slightly fuller to enhance gloss and surface hardness.

   • Ensure even coverage to prevent streaking or drips.
