Pebeo - Gedeo Relief Gilding Paste

Gedeo Relief Gilding Paste

Create dimensional gilded surfaces with ready-to-use relief paste

Dimensional gilding requires proper foundation, smooth applications look flat; textured surfaces catch light and create depth. This ready-to-use paste builds substantial relief directly from the nozzle or spreads with a spatula, creating ridges, peaks, and dimensional patterns that transform into sculptural metallic surfaces once you apply Gedeo gilding leaves. The paste's formulation maintains crisp edges and defined texture as it dries, essential for relief work where shadows and highlights depend on surface variation.

Multi-surface adhesion means you can build dimensional gilded elements on canvas, wood, paper, or mixed media substrates without additional primers or preparation. Work spontaneously with direct application for bold linear effects, or use controlled spatula techniques for precise patterning and graduated relief. The paste accepts metal leaf once tacky, eliminating guesswork about adhesive timing while providing the substantial tooth needed to anchor leaf to dimensional surfaces.

Thick application capability distinguishes this from standard gilding sizes that work only in thin layers. Build up substantial texture in single applications, creating baroque flourishes, embossed lettering, or abstract dimensional compositions that catch light from multiple angles once gilded. The white paste color provides clear visibility of your relief pattern before gilding, allowing confident placement and correction before committing precious metal leaf.
