Italian Golden Ground A+B

From 54,00 

Italian Golden Ground A+B consists of a water-based wood primer comprising two products whose performances complement each other, providing the wood with colour from within its fibres and the necessary protective components to stabilise that colour. 

Italian Golden Ground A+B is a product specially developed to colour the natural wood of classical musical instruments when a more or less intense coloured base is desired before varnishing.  

Before use, it is recommended to test on pieces or parts of wood like those of the instrument to be treated to predict the colour tone that can be achieved in each case.

Application Guidelines

These are short, general indications. For more detailed instructions, please download the Technical Data Sheet available for this product.

&&
1

Before applying these primers, it is recommended that the wood be internally sealed with a 2-3% aqueous solution of gelatin and let it dry.

The two components, A and B, can be applied using a sponge, ensuring even application for uniform product penetration across the surface.

&&
2

Component A is used first and should be allowed to dry under UV light for 6-8 hours.

Once removed from UV light, it should be allowed to air dry for an additional 2 hours before applying the following product.

Once this first coat has dried, component B is applied similarly.

This product provides protective components that prevent subsequent degradation of the wood colour and unifies the colour hues of the front and back parts of the instrument. Allow it to air dry for 3-4 hours.

&&

Once dry, it is recommended to rub the wood with a clean cloth to remove any raised grain caused by the water-based products.
