Introducing the premium Gelatin Sheets (10 Pack) from Rublev Colours, a trusted brand in the art industry. These high-quality gelatin sheets are made from pork skin in Italy and are ideal for gilding, art conservation, and restoration projects. The sheets are a technical grade of gelatin, providing a clearer and more transparent product compared to granular or powdered animal glue.

Many professional gilders prefer gelatin glue over hide glue because it can be burnished more easily when mixed with gilder's clay, chalk, or gesso. The gelatin sheets have a Bloom Value of 100-110 grams, which measures the strength of the gel formed by a 6 and 2/3% solution of the glue. This ensures a strong and flexible bonding agent for your art projects.

The gelatin sheets are also graded and sold by their Bloom Value, which is a measurement of the strength of the gel. The higher the Bloom Value, the greater the elasticity of the gel. The viscosity of the gelatin sheets is measured at 23-28 millipascal seconds, which indicates the flow velocity of the glue solution through a funnel.

To use the gelatin sheets, simply soak them in water for several hours, then gently heat them in a water bath until they dissolve completely. The resulting solution can be applied with a brush while warm or with a spatula when cooled to room temperature. For gilding, use the gelatin solution as an adhesive for metal leaf, such as gold leaf, and mix it with gilder's clay or whiting to create a base for gilding.

The gelatin sheets can be modified with various additives to enhance their properties. For example, adding aluminum sulfate or potassium chloride can make the glue more waterproof, while adding glycerin increases its flexibility. Urea can also be added to extend the gel time and increase flexibility.

With its long history dating back to ancient times, animal glue has been used in various art forms, including woodworking and paper industries. The Rublev Colours Gelatin Sheets (10 Pack) is a high-quality product that meets the demands of professional artists and conservators. It is an essential material for anyone working with gilding, art conservation, or restoration projects.

The gelatin sheets are carefully packaged in a 10-pack to ensure freshness and longevity. With their high-quality manufacturing process, these sheets are designed to provide consistent results and exceptional bonding strength. Whether you're a professional artist or a hobbyist, the Rublev Colours Gelatin Sheets (10 Pack) is an excellent choice for your art projects.
