Gilding Wax - Metallic Gilders Paste - Antiquing Wax for Furniture - Plaster - Glass - Paper - Metal - and More - Art and Craft Supplies - 5.6 Ounce Jar - Empire Gold

I LOVE this product! I researched for a long time before I bought it -- I wanted the right color of gold, one that was "thick" enough, and a product that would hold up over time. I have been restoring a very damaged metal statue and needed a good paint. It had to be a rub so the indented designs in the statue wouldn't get filled with paint. I bought this even though it was pricey. I painted/rubbed this whole 2.5 foot statue, front and back, and even being generous probably used less than a measuring tablespoon and have at least 2/3s of the jar left for other projects. Color: The color is nice. I would have liked it to be a bit "warmer " but it is a nice color of gold. It is not shiny and also not matte -- it is sort of a satin finish. The gold doesn't "sparkle". Application: The paint itself is a rub that is easy to rub on with a finger (the instructions say to use a glove, but if you do you can't manipulate the paint as well), piece of cloth, or a brush. Drying time: It dries in an hour or so to touchable, but it needs to sit a few days to be sure it is set. When using, it is important to take a little bit out of the jar and put it in a container or piece of waxed paper that you can throw away. That bit needs to be used in about an hour because it starts to harden and becomes harder to use. The pain adhered nicely to a rust converter that I painted the statue with first. If you paint for a long period right out of the jar, you risk letting the paint get too hard and you won't be able to use it again. Clean-up: I used Speedball Pink Soap. Someone suggested Dawn Dishwashing Detergent but it didn't work. The Pink Soap dud the trick on my brushes, not my hands. It wears off my hands after about a day. Other uses: I also used this on some paper. You can burnish it to a shine on paper but I don't seem to be able to do it on the statue. Overall: I think it is a good quality product and a good value for your money. Though it is a tiny amount, it goes a very long way!

After a lot of research I decided on this brand even though it’s a bit pricier than others. I found it very easy to apply with a small flat brush. You can use your fingers as well if you want a more antiquing look. It does wash off your hands easily. I ended up applying two layers, allowing a few days to dry and cure between the coatings, and it works but you have to be gentle and dab rather than rub or brush on that second layer. It is a finishing wax so don’t think you’re able to do a poly or or other sealant on it. Sticks on well to metal and painted furniture. The gold isn’t yellow but more of a satin old school, not orange like a brass either. It’s quite beautiful.

Love this product. Worth every penny and so easy to use. I bought it to spruce up the gold base of an antique Waterford crystal lamp. It made it look new again. It worked so well I spruced up handles on an antique dresser and decorations on other pieces.

This product is splendid. I needed some true gold gild for a carving I did and this fit the bill far better than I ever could have imagined. It handles nicely - a bit painstaking in small places but a small brush and some patience took me to the finish line. I glazed over it with a black glaze to make it look old, and it handled that well. Dried in fair time but remained workable while applying (brush did not harden while I worked for several hours). As for the smell, I was bent over working quite closely with the stuff for hours as I said. I work with an extraction fan nearby and I had the running in an abundance of caution but that was truly not needed. It's no worse than any shoe polish and I got used to it quickly - I'm extremely sensitive to smell and get headaches from perfume so that gives you an idea of my olfactory sensitivity. Truly not a problem at all. It also finishes nicely under a good seal / protector. Ultimately I am beyond pleased with this exceptional gild.

I love this wax! It is very easy to apply with a paintbrush, and has a beautiful sheen. It does have a strong odor while wet, but the smell dissipates as it dries, then goes away completely.

When I received the product I opened the jar right away to check the texture. It has a nice creamy texture. So far I'm using it in the grooves on a dresser's drawers. In order to get the wax in the grooves I'm using a paint brush and that has worked to apply it. To clean the brush I washed it with warm water and dawn dish soap. I tried applying it to the handles and so far it hasn't stuck well. Either I'll have to sand them (they are really smooth and I'm thinking that is why it doesn't want to stick) or apply several thin layers. Overall I really like this product. My biggest complaint would be the smell. It has a very strong odor so I've been using it outside with a small mask over my face. I do NOT recommend using this inside unless you are in a well ventilated area. I'm probably going to try to find a product that doesn't smell so strong so I can use this indoors. If I can't find something as nice then I will consider buying this again. I would really like to try the silver next time.

This product has been great! I have done several mirrors and decor pieces, and a little goes a long way. It's the perfect tone of gold. Super easy to apply and clean up (if any).

I love this gilding gold, has a nice scent too!

Je n'ai pas réussi à restaurer mes cadres de tableaux lisses dorés. On voit les traces. La couleur est bien.

The Gedeo Gilding Wax is fantastic quality and incredibly easy to use. It applies smoothly with a finger or cloth and buffs up to a rich, beautiful metallic shine that instantly elevates craft and mixed-media projects. A little goes a long way, and the finish looks professional on a variety of surfaces. Purchased from Amazon and arrived exactly as described. Perfect for adding highlights and luxury detail—highly recommended. ✨🎨
