【How to use:】
Use it for Dosa sizing (a technique for preventing color bleeds)
1. Dilute the glue to 4~5% and use it as a Dosa agent. (No alum is required in this solution)
2. Adjust the temperature of the glue solution to 25 to 30℃, then soak the brush in thoroughly, and slowly draw it on the surface of the Washi (at a speed of about 2 cm/second).
3. Let it dry for 2-3 days before staring to draw.
※The effectiveness of the Dosa agent varies depending on the type of Washi, humidity and temperature. Please use the standard concentration as a guide to make adjustments. (The best time to work is around autumn to spring when humidity is low and temperatures are not high).
※This product is recommended as a Dosa sizing glue, so do not mix it with paints. Noted that mixing fish glue with paints may cause the paint to crack as it has a very high viscosity.
However, it can be used for Kindei (Japenese gold paint) and pearl pigments. Please dilute the glue to 1.5~3% before using it.
You can use the glue as a adhesive for applying metal leaf. Please dilute the glue to 1.5~3% and add 1% alginate solution before using it.
