Name: Utrecht Japan Drier
Brand: Utrecht
Rating: 4.9 (15 reviews)

Utrecht Japan Drier is an ideal medium for gilding oil paintings. The name comes from the 17th century European practice of &quot;Japanning,&quot; a process designed to imitate Asian lacquerwork.    Japan Drier has the consistency of thin molasses. Apply it to your painting surface and allow it to dry to a high tack, then apply gold or silver leafing, smooth, and burnish. It has an alkali base and may cause colors to yellow or darken over time, so it's best used for sign painting, woodworking, and crafting rather than fine art applications.   Made in the USA.
