Acrylic chalk - Bormawachs

It is a combination of traditional plaster with an acrylic polymer, added with a white pigment and additives, which guarantee its flexibility, excellent sandability and long life.
It can be used as a sealant, for preparing canvases for painting, or as a primer for the correct application of gold leaf. The acrylic plaster can be colored.

Procedure:

  • Ready to use for brush applications, it is preferable to dilute with water (maximum 15 - 20%) for spray applications. If applied as a base for the application of gold leaf, it is recommended to dye the plaster red-orange, to imitate the color of the red bole and enrich the final appearance of the gold leaf. For silver leaf it is preferable to use a dark or black color.
  • Apply two or three coats of plaster, preferably waiting each time for the plaster to dry, with times that will vary depending on the thickness and weather conditions.
  • Before applying the gold leaf, sand carefully to obtain a smooth surface. Start with coarse sandpaper (150-180) and continue with increasingly finer grit (350 - 600 - 1200), taking care to proceed each time in a direction crossing the previous one.
  • Once the surface is smooth and free of defects apply the mission and then the gold/silver leaf.

A company that is worth a visit for the wonderful and wide range of basic materials from shaped wooden boards, chalked, tools and colors: everything you need to create icons or pyrographic works. They have wonderful painted icons, books and also organize courses on the subject. Courteous, competent staff, generous with information and suggestions. Worth a visit.

The solid lime wood boards, purchased by me online from the well-stocked Dal Molin Carpentry, to carry out carving work, have an excellent quality/price ratio and are available in a vast number of formats... The packaging of the products sent was also very careful and received with very punctual delivery. Compliments!

I don't practice iconography, but I try my hand at chip carving. I searched high and low online looking for basswood boards to pursue my hobby, and I bought several from different suppliers. I've always spent a lot on cheap boards. One day I ended up, by chance, on the Dal Molin Carpentry website and a world opened up to me. Boards of all sizes, and even particular shapes... I ordered some to try and I have to say: FINALLY! Finally some high quality boards, well finished and at fair prices. I immediately added the site to my favorites, from which I plan to order often :) A thousand thanks!
