About us.
It starts with passion.
In the cathedral city of Cologne, the cornerstone for innovative adhesive for gold leaf was laid in 1979. The noble gold
leaf, enchanting and seemingly everlasting, demands high quality adhesives. The market launch of the Instacoll and
KGGG-Systems followed soon after the founding of Kölner Gilding Products.
The advantages with the usage and the excellent quality of the gilding were immediately evident.
Today, the company Kölner Gilding Products GmbH has its registered office in Germany’s golden city, Dresden.
As a manufacturer, we occupy approximately 20 employees. Our own lab ensures constant development, and
documents every batch.
Our enterprise embodies the core values/principles of gilder competence, customer orientation and reliability.

Kölner Classic
„Kölner Classic“ products enable reliable historical gilding in the present day. They are not a new invention–they have
been developed on a historical basis. This product line fully ensures professional gilding and associated restoration work
again.
•••
Kölner Classic Poliment
Poliment—also known as bole—is a clay-like substance. It serves as a base layer for the leaf gold when gilding poliment.
It is applied to the prepared surface, which is usually Gesso. Gesso is a mixture of chalk and glue. The poliment layer and
the underlying layer of Gesso create a layer that permits the polishing of gold with agate burnishers.
Poliment gilding can only be used on absorbing surfaces.
It is an unbound poliment (unprepared) and has to be prepared with gelatine or rabbit skin glue before it can be applied.
This poliment is already processed with water to a paste.
Advantages:
· very good gradation
· no fish-eyeing
· excellent covering power
· needs little glue

Kölner Classic Feldmann´s Prep - Preparating the ground for gilding with oil mixtion
Processing instructions:
It works on each hardened varnish underground. Paste is to be applied with cotton wool or brush.
1-2 minutes start polishing off residuelessly with clean cotton wool. If the underground comes off a little (e.g. at a yellow
high gloss varnish – yellow discolorations in the cotton wool) this is no defect or an impairment.
After polishing off cleanly the oil mixtion is to applied quickly with a bristle brush.

Kölner Classic Oil Mixtion
Three different drying times are produced—3, 12 and 24 hours Mixtion. The drying time refers to the waiting time before
application of the gold leaves. Nevertheless, this tip can only be valid as an approximate indication, since the right time for
putting on the leaf metals depends primarily on application rate and the ambient air temperature. The Mixtion is suitable
for interior gilding and exterior gilding.

Kölner Instacoll System
The Kölner Instacoll System is available in different variations and allows excellent gilding with real gold leaf.
Range of application: exterior gilding, interior gilding
Usable golden kinds: all real kinds of gold leaf, silver leaf, palladium leaf and white gold
The drying and open time of this adhesive depend on the kind of material, the ambient air temperature and the air
humidity. The ideal processing term is around 15 - 25 °C and an air humidity of 45 - 60 %. We recommend to always
carry out extensive tests before final application of the products.
High gloss gilding
for the inside and outside area
NEW with the HA-System (HA = High Active)
with gold leaf of extra thick quality, as well as silver leaf
and palladium leaf with HA-System grey.
Matt finishing gilding
mainly for the inside area
Matt and gloss can be mixed in all quantities, therefore the
degree of shine can be determined by yourself.
The system consists of 2 components:
the BASE and the ACTIVATOR
The BASE is applied with a special Kölner synthetic brush or a spray application.
After the base layer has dried—which can last up to 1 hour—it is possible to gild for 1 hour.
For a longer lasting or later gilding, the surface can be reactivated with the ACTIVATOR. The activator should be applied
in a very thin layer, so that the surface is reactivated again for the metal adhesion. That activation can still be applied or
repeated after a long time. The activation is dry after a few minutes. Thereafter, the treated surface is receptive for gold
leaf for at least 1 hour. The adhesion occurs through pressure.
Detailed instructions are enclosed with the products.

Kölner high gloss water gilding system KGGG
The Kölner KGGG system consists of three components:
· impregnation agent (Sealer P, Sealer 123A)
· burnishing clay (Fond)
· A size for water gilding (Colnasol)
The components are water dilutable and applied without warming. Thereby you safe time and get a good adhesive
between the different layers.
Kölner impregnation agent
•••
The impregnation agent is used to seal an absorbing surface, which forms a film inside the material without building a
closed layer at the surface.
Such materials are, amongst others, plastering, plaster and paper material.
The impregnation agent improves the adhesion between the work material and the following primer coat.
Therefore, it is very important that the correct impregnation agent is used.
The impregnation agent provides a better adhesive for the KGGG-Fond.
Kölner Sealer P is a water dilutable, acrylic resin dispersion. The solvent content is < 1 %.
After film building, the layer can only be removed with acetone or ethanol. Brushes should be washed out with water.
The product can be stored for at least 1 year.
Advantage of Sealer P over Sealer 123 A are an enhanced provision of adhesion of Kölner KGGG Fond and spray fond,
as well as a lower impregnation depth for extremely absorbing underlayers, e.g. plaster.
Sealer 123a is diluted with water. It is applied to diminish absorbing surfaces, and to secure the adhesion of the next layer
of fond. It can be used for gilding on e.g. plaster, stone and wood.

Kölner Fond
The Fond is a water-based, one-layer gilders clay, which replaces the Gesso and bole/poliment layers of the traditional
system. The Fond can be applied directly in the correct colour without warming the product. Usually, 4 to 6 layers are
applied, depending on the type of the present reliefs. A dry film thickness of 150 μm must be reached everywhere where
later the leaf metal will be burnished.
Firstly, the Fond must be stirred. Don´t shake, otherwise air bubbles will arise. Applying the Fond occurs in at least 4
layers. As soon as the last layer has dried, it should be mildly polished with a damp cloth. Afterwards, it is polished with
a dry cloth until it shines.

Kölner Colnasol
This skin-glue preparation is used for the production of water size for loose metal leaf. It is suited for achieving polishable
high gloss gildings, high gloss silvering, and high gloss gilding with imitation metal leaf.
With the KGGG system, one does not use the usual alcohol/water size, but rather a weak solution of skin glue in water.
The Colnasol tablet is dissolved in hot water and used after the water has cooled.
For 1 tablet, half a litre of water is used. You can also use parts of the tablet for a smaller amount. After the gold leaf is
applied, you should wait 24 hours before burnishing with the agate burnisher.

Kölner Miniatum
Size for high gloss for gilding on paper, vellum, leather and flexible surfaces.
Kölner Miniatum products are developed for the gilding of paintings and writings (calligraphy).
It is easy to use.
Apply, let it dry and metallize it with transfer gold within the next 24 hours
Product feature: On the basis of a watery, glycol-containing acrylic dispersion.
It contains small quantities butylcarbitol. Make sure sthat there is sufficient ventilation while working with this product!
Application:
High gloss gilding and silvering. Particularly used on paper and other flexible surfaces, but can also be used on
non-flexible surfaces.
Kölner Miniatum should be processed at a room temperature between 15 - 25 °C. Additional dilution with water is
possible. However, this should not exceed 5 %. It can be stored for at least 1 year after production.
Brushes, pens and so on should be cleaned with soap and water, as long as the size has not formed a film. For longer
works, periodic cleaning with water can become necessary, in particular with high temperature surroundings. Cleaning
with alcohol or acetone is possible after filming.
Product description:
The elastic nature of the size assures a long lasting gilded surface. The turning of illuminated pages will not cause the
leaf to delaminate. Adhesion is guaranteed on paper, vellum (degreased), smooth leather and different plastic foils
(plasticizer-free), as well as on metal-concealed papers (aluminium) and a lot of other materials.
Miniatum is especially important for gilding in the domain of book illumination.
Even without agate burnishing, surfaces with spectacular high-gloss can be achieved. Miniatum works perfectly when
high gloss is desired, especially for small surfaces.
Application description:
Miniatum can be applied immediately with a special synthetic Kölner brush on smooth and low or nonabsorbent material.
Plastic foil should be tested for adhesion first.
Lines or small surfaces can be applied with raised texture immediately. Larger surfaces and/or absorbing materials
should be prepainted with Miniatum thereafter and receive a second layer after thorough drying.
A multiple brushing reduces a part of the structure of not entirely smooth surfaces. Normally, the application of the leaf
metals is done after all layers of paint are completely dry. The drying, especially with a thick or multilayer application,
takes at least 5 hours (depending on the climate).
Old, overlayered Miniatum layers can be reactivated with Instacoll-Activator for perfect adhesion of metal leaves.
To ensure that thicker films are completely dry, it is recommended to apply the size in the evening, and metallize it the
next morning. Thin films can be gilded after 1 to 2 hours.
The time for secure metal adhesion, after application of the last Miniatum-layer, is about 24 hours, and for imitation leaf
metal maximally 8 hours. Utilization preferably finds place with transfer leaf gold or silver that is tailored with a scissor.
With the help of Kölner Tissue, the transfer paper side of the leaf gold is firmly pressed on the Miniatum-film without
moving the transfer paper.
23

The paper is then carefully removed, so that parts of the metal that do not stick yet can be rubbed onto the Miniatum
again. After the transfer paper is completely subtracted, the metal is vertically pressed with the cloth again, and then
polished with the cloth in all directions. Agate burnishing is not possible.
Imitation metal leaf is tailored, applied and directly pressed vertically with the Kölner Tissue.
It is mildly polished afterwards. The resulting gilding or silvering has sharp edges and looks very shiny.
Silver and imitation metal leaf will oxidize over time.
To prevent oxidation, it can be carefully painted over with solvent-free Kölner gilding varnish

Kölner Miniatum Ink
Ink size for gilding on paper
Product feature:
Synthetic size in ink form, for leaf gold and leaf silver; for shiny but non-polishable metallization.
Miniatum-Ink has been designed as an addition to Miniatum.
The processing is carried out with the use of various drawing supplements. Scriptures and drawings can be made with
raised gilding of the finest lines in leaf gold or leaf silver.
In combination with Miniatum, all calligraphic leaf gildings are possible.
The metallizations permanently adhere to the elastic film. You do not have to be afraid of crack or flake forming, even
when you move a page of the book. On materials other than paper, the product should be tested.
Because of the danger of ‘dulling’ of previously high gloss metallizations, plastics can’t contain plasticizer.
Application description:
Miniatum Ink is used undiluted at a room temperature between 15 and 22 °C, with writing and drawing feathers, an ink
pen, and a fountain pen or a drawing pen. The Art Pen by Rotring has been proven to be especially handy, not only since
you can easily change the nib, but also because regulation of the amount of ink is possible with the ink converter.
The converter is easy to clean as well, since you can disassemble it into individual components. Miniatum Ink can easily
be kept in a closed fountain pen for several days. If there is still gluing that disrupts the writing with the fountain pen,
cleaning the feather with water suffices.
After emptying the writing tools, please rinse thoroughly with water and keep it filled with water until next usage.
All other writing tools should be cleaned with water immediately after usage and dried afterwards.
In general, a single ink application is sufficient. With strongly absorbent papers, a second or third application of ink might
be necessary. Wide areas are best applied with Miniatum.
For application of the transfer gold (same application as for Miniatum), the ink must dry thoroughly. The average application
has dried after about half an hour. The open time of gilding (gold or silver leaf, not composition leaf) is till 3 hours
after the application has dried.

Kölner Rapid
Kölner Rapid is specifically developed for stone mason requirements.
The adhesive is applied undiluted in two layers with a brush. After approximately 15 minutes of drying (depending on the
thickness of the Rapid layer, temperature, and relative humidity), you can either apply a second layer of Rapid or you can
start gilding. Beware that the Rapid layer must be completely dry before gilding. After that, you have 8 hours open time
to make a high-quality gilding.
If it concerns a strongly absorbing surface, several layers of adhesive can be applied. Make sure that the layer is always
completely dry before painting a next layer.
Sealing of the stone is then no longer necessary. Working with Kölner Rapid is comfortable and safe, and will quickly
feel natural. Especially work outdoors can be done fast, yet with high quality, for example on site or/and at the cemetery.
For large surfaces, Kölner Rapid can be sprayed as well after diluting it with no more than 8 % distilled water.
A low pressure sprayer with a nozzle size of 1 - 1,5 mm is recommended.
Kölner Rapid can also be applied with a brush.
We recommend the use of a flat synthetic brush.

Kölner Agate burnisher
Agate is a semi-precious stone, which consists of certain siliceous materials. There are different kinds of colourings of agate.
Each colour looks different and is therefore unique. The burnishers are suitable for all leaf metals that can be processed
with the poliment gilding technique. Before you begin with polishing, you must peel off the surface of the stone (viz. it
should be matted). Because the polishing stones are highly sensitive, it is recommended to keep them in our Kölner Brush
Roll so that they can’t be scratched or damaged.
Agate:
· siliceous material
· different colourings
· enclosed in metal ferrule
Handle:
· varnished
· wooden
