Kolner Kits

The Kölner Instacoll Gilding Kit is a professional system designed to achieve high-gloss, mirror-like gilded finishes without the need for traditional agate burnishing. Ideal for both interior and exterior applications, this kit provides everything needed to work with the renowned Instacoll system, trusted by gilders for its precision, flexibility, and exceptional brilliance.

At the core of the system is the Instacoll Base, a water-based adhesive that dries to a smooth surface, followed by the Instacoll Activator, which reactivates the surface to receive leaf at the perfect tack. This two-step process allows for controlled application and virtually unlimited working time, making it especially effective for detailed or large-scale projects.

Paired with a specialized synthetic Instacoll brush for even application and a soft burnishing chamois for pressing and polishing, this kit ensures optimal results with minimal effort. When used with the included book of patent leaf, the system produces a flawless, reflective finish on properly prepared surfaces.
