Mona Lisa - Water-based Medium and Sealer

Water-based Medium and Sealer

Shield metal leaf from tarnish with water-based protection that dries fast

Metal leaf tarnishes when exposed to air and moisture, dulling the brilliant finish you worked to achieve. This water-based sealer creates a protective barrier that locks in metallic luster while maintaining the reflective quality that makes leaf so striking. The fast-drying formula lets you complete projects efficiently without extended waiting between application and handling.

Beyond preservation, this medium serves double duty in your gilding workflow. Use it as a sizing agent to prepare surfaces for leaf application, then apply it as a topcoat once the leaf is positioned. The water-based formulation means straightforward cleanup with soap and water rather than solvents, keeping your workspace manageable during multi-step projects.

The 2-ounce bottle provides ample coverage for decorative objects, picture frames, and mixed media pieces where metal leaf adds focal interest. Whether sealing composition leaf that requires protection or preserving genuine metal accents on craft projects, this sealer maintains clarity without yellowing or clouding your metallic surfaces. Conforms to ASTM D 4236 safety standards for art materials.
