This glue is sold as a stain -stamping fluid (dosa solution) of Japanese paper, but can also be used for foil stamping.however,When applying foil using glue, it can dry quickly because only the glue solution can dry out, so drying can be slowed down by inserting an alginic acid solution.



In the case of foil pasting, dilute the pork solution to 1.5 to 3%solution and add alginic acid (1%solution).

Also, when using it in gold mud or pearl medical medium, use it as a 1.5 to 3%solution. Since the gluish solution is easily rotten, we recommend not only refrigerated storage but also preservatives for the unused.
