Crafting masterpieces requires the finest materials, and when it comes to gilding and artistic endeavors, our Technical Gelatin is the ideal choice. This premium, animal collagen-based glue is manufactured in the United States, ensuring the highest quality and purity. Its fine mesh granular texture makes it effortless to dissolve in water, creating a seamless application experience.

Unlike hide glue, our Technical Gelatin offers a superior burnish when mixed with gilder's clay or gesso, making it the preferred choice among professional gilders. The gelatin's light color and translucency further enhance its appeal, allowing artists to achieve unparalleled results. Measured by its Bloom Value, our gelatin boasts a 200-gram strength, guaranteeing a superior bonding experience.

To prepare our Technical Gelatin, simply soak it in water for 30 minutes, then gently heat it in a water bath until fully dissolved. Apply the solution with a brush while warm or with a spatula once cooled to room temperature, where it will gel. For gilding, mix the gelatin with gilder's clay or whiting to create a base, then add calcium carbonate for chalk grounds or calcium sulfate for gesso grounds. Always strive for the minimum required concentration, akin to the consistency of jelly.

Beyond gilding, our Technical Gelatin is a versatile medium, suitable for art applications, including painting. Create a unique distemper paint by combining the gelatin with water and pigments. This low-cost, easily formulated paint is ideal for color sketching and painting. When properly stored in a covered container in the refrigerator, the gelatin remains usable for several days to a week.
