Instructions for use
The application surface must be completely clean and smooth. Ampoli does not contain any adhesive substances, so one must be added to improve adhesion. It is recommended to dilute the material in a 1:1 ratio with a mixture consisting of 90% water and 10% rabbit glue. Once the mixture is prepared and ready, it can be applied with a brush, and gold leaf can be applied while the ampoli is still wet. After the ampoli is applied, it takes approximately 2 hours to dry.
Mixing ratios, quantities and drying times may vary. It is recommended that the application be done according to the particular characteristics and techniques of the individual artist and after experimentation with the material.
