Kolner Leaf Protect

Kölner Leaf Protect is specifically designed by Kölner to seal leaf and prevent oxidation without causing a reaction or altering the leaf itself. Even reactive metal leaves, such as Copper or Imitation Gold can be protected with no risk of discolouration and it dries to an attractive clear semi-gloss finish that preserves the lustre of the leaf beneath. It's unique acrylic formula means that it is quick-drying and easy to wash up with warm water and soap. Kölner Leaf Protect can be applied by brush ( if applying by brush we recommend using Kölner synthetic bristle brushes as they are designed to smoothly apply acrylic- and water-based products), polyester rollers or by spray equipment (following the usual process for spray application of acrylic clear coats.). Depending on conditions Kölner Leaf Protect will be dry in between 1 - 4 hours, recoat time is around 1 hour. Kölner Leaf Protect is a superb alternative to Universal Lacquer but please note - while Leaf Protect will protect the leaf against light wear, if a more durable finish is needed then we recommend using the Kölner Leaf Protect as an isolating varnish and applying coats of more hard-wearing acrylic varnishes as needed. Coverage - 15m2 per litre ***NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE OVER GENUINE SILVER LEAF***
