Jo Sonja Tannin Sealer 250ml

Tannin Sealer has excellent adhesive and sealing properties.  Use on wood or masonite surfaces where tannin, oil or pitch may bleed through paint. Also use to adhere gold leaf.

To use for Gold Leafing:

• Mix Retarder 1:2 with Tannin Sealer and apply a smooth coat.
• Allow to dry to tack. When dry, fingerprint does not remain when surface is touched. Repeat to apply 3 coats.
• Press gold leaf onto surface. Rub gently with cotton ball to press into place.
• Heat set gold leaf using a hair dryer and warm air.
• Allow to dry overnight before buffing to remove excess leaf.  Buff the surface gently using a soft cloth or brush.
• Seal with a coat of All Purpose Sealer to prevent tarnishing and increase adhesion prior to decorating or antiquing with Jo Sonjaâs Artistsâ Colors
