To create relief elements, add rabbit-skin glue (in an amount sufficient to achieve a pudding-like consistency). The relief will not shrink.
The Kölner Relief Kit is a repair product designed for fixing frames and relief elements, particularly on materials such as plaster and wood.
It consists of a dry powder. Once applied, it does not shrink and is highly resistant to breakage. Due to these properties, it is well-suited for repairs beneath polymer coatings.
Usage instructions:
Gradually add a small amount of water to the powder. The optimal ratio for a firm, workable consistency is 30 ml of water per 100 g of powder. Mix thoroughly until the desired putty-like consistency is achieved. Remove any air bubbles that may form. Apply the mixture to the surface and shape it using tools; to make modeling easier, dampen both the mixture and your tools with water. If a longer working time is required, use rabbit-skin glue diluted with water.
Drying time depends on temperature, humidity, and the thickness of the object, ranging from half an hour to 3 hours.
Once the surface has dried completely, sand it thoroughly. Rabbit-skin glue can be used when preparing for gilding.
Porous surfaces must first be sealed with Kölner KGGG 123-A. The use of the KGGG system base (fond) is also recommended.
