Suitable exterior surfaces include weather resistant wood, painted steel, copper, zinc and aluminum. Porous surfaces, such as wood, stone, plaster, etc., should first be coated with Instacoll Base diluted with 15% water. After allowing about 30 minutes to dry this initial coat can be covered with a more generous, full strength layer of Instacoll. As mentioned above some substrates need more preparation than a simple pre-paint with Instacoll to achieve a weather-resistant coating. • Apply Instacoll Base with a soft hair brush (preferably nylon) or with a paint sprayer. If spraying, dilute the Base with up to 10% water. • Apply one or two even coats. Let each dry before applying the next. • Wait at least one hour after applying the last Instacoll base coat. • Now you have about one hour of open time to apply the gold leaf without using the Activator. • After one hour open time you must use the Activator. You can activate repeatedly; one day, two weeks or even six months later. Areas that have been previously activated can be activated again. Apply Activator onto overlapping areas of just laid leaf for a seamless gilded surface. Always let the Activator dry before applying the next leaf. You can use Instacoll Clear to make improvements when you are not satisfied with the results. Loose or surface leaf may be applied directly if the gold is laid on the wet Instacoll Activator. Therefore the Activator should be brushed on thinly and repeatedly. Similar to traditional water gilding, the leaf is immediately laid on the wet surface. After the surface has dried sufficiently, the leaf should be pressed and rubbed again onto the surface with cotton. The resulting gilded surface is not as brilliant as with the dry gilding method described above. ## Features - Achieve a high-gloss finish for interior or exterior gilding projects - Easily shines without agate burnishing - Two part water-based system: apply Instacoll Base, then apply Activator when you're ready to leaf (sold separately) - One-hour open time once activator is applied to put on the leaf, Activator can be reapplied over base later and will "reopen" the surface for gilding - Can by applied by brush or spray, covers approximately 25-40 square feet per 500ml container ## Images ![Kolner Instacoll Activator for Use With Genuine or Imitation Gold or Silver Leaf (500-Milliliter) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31e4MDESJmL._SL500_.jpg) ![Kolner Instacoll Activator for Use With Genuine or Imitation Gold or Silver Leaf (500-Milliliter) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51NwyCN2TiL.jpg) ![Kolner Instacoll Activator for Use With Genuine or Imitation Gold or Silver Leaf (500-Milliliter) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51cQuzqKqSL.jpg) ![Kolner Instacoll Activator for Use With Genuine or Imitation Gold or Silver Leaf (500-Milliliter) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41ZSeo5BKlL.jpg) ![Kolner Instacoll Activator for Use With Genuine or Imitation Gold or Silver Leaf (500-Milliliter) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41M6RbAiD3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by J***. on May 25, 2017* I received what I bought in excellent condition and on time.
