Gilding, Waxes, Pastes + Rubs

Transform your crafts with our Gilding Waxes, Pastes & Rubs collection — the essential finishing touch for adding a rich, metallic luster to any project. Whether you're restoring an antique frame or embellishing a DIY home décor piece, our range offers a versatile palette of gilded finishes that elevate and refine.

Uses & Applications

Our gilding waxes and metallic pastes are perfect for:

• Furniture restoration: Highlight intricate carved details on wood or raised moldings with a subtle or bold metallic sheen.

• Frames & mirrors: Use gilding waxes to accent edges, inner details, or distressed finishes.

• Home décor & craft projects: Add dimension to decorative boxes, stencils, or resin pieces.

• Mixed-media & antiques: Apply on plaster, gesso, ceramic, glass, and metal to recreate vintage or aged effects.

• Model making & cosplay: Use a small amount of metallic paste to give props, miniatures, or costumes an authentic gilded look — apply by finger or cloth, then buff to shine.

• Marbling, stenciling, or staining: Mix or thin with suitable solvents to use in decorative techniques like marbling or wood staining. Treasured metallic wax formulas adhere beautifully and remain non-tarnishing.
