{"product_id":"mona-lisa-extra-thick-metal-leaf-adhesive","title":"Extra Thick Metal Leaf Adhesive","description":"\u003cp\u003eWater-soluble adhesives typically run and pool during application, creating uneven tack that shows through delicate metal leaf. This extra-thick formula eliminates that frustration. Dense consistency stays exactly where you brush it, enabling controlled coverage on vertical surfaces and intricate details without drips or thin spots. The adhesive appears milky white during application so you can see precisely where you've worked, then dries completely clear to disappear beneath your gilding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMona Lisa formulated this specifically for metal leaf application, achieving the optimal tack level that grabs leaf firmly without tearing or causing wrinkles. Brush it on generously where you want metallic accents, dimensional surfaces, textured substrates, or detailed patterns all receive even adhesive coverage. Water-soluble composition means easy cleanup and the ability to thin if needed for specific techniques, though most gilders appreciate using it straight from the jar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2-ounce jar provides substantial coverage while remaining easy to handle during active gilding sessions. You'll know exactly when the adhesive reaches proper tack: that clear, slightly tacky stage where leaf adheres instantly and releases cleanly from backing sheets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mona Lisa","offers":[{"title":"adhesive","offer_id":48111570911461,"sku":"13039","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s13039.jpg?v=1769734785","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.com\/products\/mona-lisa-extra-thick-metal-leaf-adhesive","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
