A specially designed adhesive for exterior lettering, perfect for monumental masons looking to gild letters on headstones and memorials, or for other gilding of carved or blasted lettering. Kölner Rapid is a specially developed adhesive designed for gilded chiselled, carved or sand-blasted letters. Typical examples of uses include lettering on monuments, tombstones or household number plates. Using the Kölner Rapid system letters can be gilded quickly and the result is a high-quality, glossy gilding that can last many years outdoors. To use this product first apply it undiluted to the stone in one smooth coat. After approximately 15 minutes of drying (depending on the thickness of the Rapid layer, temperature and humidity) you can either apply a second layer of Rapid, if needed, or you can start gilding. Please ensure the Rapid layer is completely dry before gilding. After the Rapid is dry you have eight hours open time to complete your gilding. This quick drying time combined with generous working times makes this product ideal for carrying out work on site. Also, the finish of the gild on headstones is better than those gilded using traditional oil size and has even better longevity. Kölner Rapid is available in two colours, Clear and Yellow. The Yellow colour makes for a perfect undercoat underneath gold leaf. Please Note:The Kölner Rapid system is only designed for use on lettering, if you wish to gild other surfaces then we recommend the Kölner Instacoll system. When using Kölner Rapid it is important to bear in mind the difference between gilded lettering on standing stones and that on laying stones. On stones that are laying down rainwater can pool in the lettering causing heavier than anticipated weathering, resulting in a shorter lifetime of the finish compared to lettering on standing stones. It is also important to allow a longer drying time for the Kölner Rapid system if used on lettering on laying stones.

Miniatum Ink has been designed as a supplement to Kolner Miniatum. Finest lines can be made with a variety of drawing instruments laid with gold or silver leaf. In combination with Kolner Miniatum, nearly all calligraphy works are possible. The metal shine is a mirror like after burnishing with cotton wool.

Instacoll Matte works the same way as the Instacoll base except that it produces a matte finish. It can be mixed with Instacoll Base to produce different degrees of brilliance. The Matt can also be applied over the Instacoll Base to produce decorative designs that produce matte and burnished effects like a water gilded picture frame.

Kolner Instacoll HA (High Active) System is a high-performance gilding system for the creation of high-gloss gilded finishes on interior and exterior surfaces. Instacoll HA differs from the Instacoll system as it is designed to work with heavier weight gold leaf (> 20g per 1000 leaves) and heavier metal leaf, such as silver or palladium. Kolner Instacoll Activator HA is used to reactivate dry Instacoll Base HA layers and make them receptive for leaf again. Simply wait for the Instacoll Base HA to dry completely, then apply a very thin coat of Instacoll Activator HA and allow for it to dry. One the Instacoll Activator HA is dry then the surface will once again be ready for leaf to be laid.

Apply over Instacol base HA to re-activate size. Used only with Instacoll gilding size HA.

Instacoll HA provides slightly stronger adhesion for gold leaf with a weight of 20gm+. The application of Instacoll HA is the same as Instacoll Base with the exception of a slower drying time. HA must dry a minimum of 48 hours before it can be activated with Instacoll Activator HA.
