"Beer resin" Alternative to acrylic glue for gilding. (Patreon)

  So here is "medieval" recipe of glue for gilding. Which is used till today by monks and icons painters.I've decided to show first glue then entire process with this glue because in my next video I will be telling about it. But I guess the process of making glue deserve another video. Actually it isn`t recipe because I used one component. The component is beer and doesn`t matter which type of Beer. In video I chose local Ukrainian light beer. Then I poured out it to metal mug. Next I have been heating it on a "Heated bath" for 6-8 hours till water which contains in beer almost was evaporated. Half bottle enough, because the more amount of beer requires more time. And after evaporation water the consistent will be not bigger than one spoon. This amount is enough for couple years at least. After temperature was down I put it in a jar. This resin never be spoiled If water was evaporated enough. Then I used it like usually acrylic glue, just dissolved it with water.

Actually I prefer this glue because acrylic mixtion ruins brushes. But this glue has one weak point is can be melt under the fingers. It`s mean that don`t put fingers on gold before covering with shellac. 

Process of gilding of hair I will post soon, after several days. And you may see both glue in the process with explanations.
