This size works better than others I’ve tried - and Ive tried many. It dries quickly and doesnt get gummy beneath the leafing, where others tend to. Plus, a little goes a very long way. One tip I’ve come up with, because it is such a strong adhesive, is to fit a rubberband around the lip of the jar, while using, and dipping my brush in it. This prevents any size from getting into the threads of the jar top. Once done using, remove the rubberband and the jar will close easily with no mess to make future uses difficult from a stuck lid.

I had so much fun creating my very first project using Amy Howard’s Gilding size! I watched a finishing Friday tutorial on it and went to work! Love your products🫶🏼✨👌🥰
Store owner replied: what fun!! Thank you so much for sharing!
Great service, great sizing, and I love, love, love the variegated copper/gold leaf!!!
Works with the gold leaf well, no issues.
This works great with the gold leaf. Love it
My daughter & I found an interesting table. She painted it in One Step Black & gilded it in gold leaf around the edges. It came out spectacular! This was her first attempt, but it won't be her last. She's now a believer thanks to your wonderful products. PS: Wish I knew how to download the picture to this site......:((
Dresser Amy, I love your products. They do exactly what you say they will do in your videos. I am redoing a French provincial dresser with your cracked patina, gold leafing, waxes and the dust of ages and I am learning so much with all these products. Please don’t ever stop teaching us how to create and transform furniture. I love what I have learned from you. I love the guilding size best I’ve ever used.
