Dux Burnish Sealers are oil-based pigmented primers designed to
simplify the gilding preparation process by eliminating the need for separate
applications of a sealer and bole. These sealers create a smooth, uniform
surface that typically requires little to no sanding before gilding, helping to
reduce preparation time while maintaining excellent surface quality.
Burnish sealers are formulated to seal the substrate, promote strong
adhesion, and allow for an easy high burnish with minimal rubbing once
metal leaf is applied. Their unique formulation makes them suitable for use on
a variety of surfaces including wood, plaster, metal, and composition
materials. Available in yellow (ochre), red, and gray, these colors
can also be intermixed to create different tonal effects when working with gold,
silver, or copper leaf, allowing the gilder to influence the warmth and final
appearance of the finished surface.
