How to gild edges in just 5 steps - A step-by-step guide to edge gilding. Book-edge finishing was historically used for very high-value books - in the past, every valuable and special book had an edge covered in gold, chalk, graphite or dye.

Die Marmorierfarbe haftet nicht so gut auf der Papieroberfläche und verschmiert etwas. Woran kann das liegen?

Das kann an folgenden Punkten liegen:

- Der Marmoriergrund ist nicht optimal eingestellt, dass kann z.B. an der Härte von dem verwendeten Wasser liegen, welches von Region zu Region unterschiedlich ist. Nutzen Sie daher am besten destilliertes Wasser.
- Niedrige Temperaturen sind generell problematisch beim marmorieren. Achten Sie auf ein normales Raumklima und darauf, dass der Marmoriergrund/Sud und die Farben die gleichen Temperaturen haben.
- Eventuell ist das verwendete Papier nicht geeignet. Verwenden Sie am besten Papiere mit einer rauen Oberfläche. In unserem Shop finden Sie extra Marmorierpapiere. Wenn Sie sehr glatte oder verdichtete Papiere verwenden möchten, dann muss das Papier mit Alaun bearbeitet werden. Das empfehlen wir aber nur fortgeschrittenen Marmorierkünstlern.
