I don't do a lot of gilding but have tried many size products and can say that this is the easiest and most successful one so far. In fact I'm unlikely to try others as I think I have found the one that suits me now. Drying time seems less critical than some and it dries smooth without brush marks. Missed areas are easy to touch in and re-gild. A great product and one I would recommend for use with any gilding leaf or flakes, not just Fimo ones.
