00:00 【 1️⃣ Step 1-GLUE】
Tools (B7000 glue)
Apply B7000 glue directly along the line. After applying the glue, wait for 2 to 3 minutes before attaching the gold wire. Apply glue in sections, attaching parts of the gold wire bit by bit. Do not apply glue to the entire image at once. If the glue dries, you can reapply.
01:38 【2️⃣ Step 2-FILIGREE】
Tools (Wooden piece for straightening gold wire, scissors, tweezers)
Use two wooden blocks to clamp down on the gold wire, straightening it. The gold wire should be positioned vertically for attachment. Hold the front end with tweezers and press down with your hand. At the corner of the line, clamp the gold wire with tweezers and twist it by hand. After attaching the gold wire, wait for at least 30 minutes before coloring.
07:50【 3️⃣ Step 3-COLOR】
Tools (Palette knife/dropper, pigment sand, glues)
Check if the gold wire is firmly attached; if not, add more glue. First, spray some clean water on the surface. Clean the pigment and mix it with the glue in proportion. You can use either a palette knife or a dropper for coloring. Be careful not to fill in too thickly; the ideal height is 2/3 of the gold wire's height, about 2mm. Spray some clean water and shake the canvas to level the surface.
18:50【4️⃣ Step 4- SET】
Step 3: Tools (Setting Spray , cup)
After coloring, allow the surface to dry for about 2-3 hours. When there's not much water left, spray with a setting spray and wipe off any excess glue. The setting spray will appear milky white when first applied but will dry clear. In warm weather, you can place it under the sun for direct sunlight, allowing it to completely dry in 2 days.
4️⃣ Optional Step 4 (SKIP Step 4-SET if you choose to gloss your painting)
If a matte finish is desired, this step can be omitted.
Additional step if your kit contains epoxy resin(Crystal Glue), SKIP step 4, DON't use setting spray, if you choose to gloss your painting!
Pour both Part A and Part B of the epoxy resin into a cup and stir evenly for 5 minutes. Place a piece of plastic wrap on the table to prevent sticking to the surface, and pour into the canvas, being careful not to pour too much at once. Pop any bubbles with a spoon or lightly torch them with a lighter. It doesn’t need to be too thick; just enough to barely cover the gold wire. Let it air dry naturally for 24 hours, or 36 hours in cold weather. During this time, be cautious not to let insects or hairs fall into it.

【Common Q&A】:
1️⃣Falling pigment:
This happens if the pigment is filled too thickly. It only needs to be filled to 2/3 of the height, about 2mm, or if the pigment glue and setting spray are not dry.
2️⃣Gold wire lifting or falling off:
This can occur if the ends are not aligned properly, the pigment is filled too thickly, or water is sprayed on the filigree.
3️⃣Color bleeding:
This can happen if not enough filigree glue is applied, it's not adhered securely, or if water is sprayed immediately after applying glue to the wire, affecting the adhesiveness.
