About the product
Judean bitumen is a necessary complement in artistic works and crafts. It is the classic Judean bitumen, so characteristic for creating patinas, imitating antiquity, enhancing carved metals, beautifying frames, moldings, and decorating objects.
It is the base for most patinas and is commonly used to age and enhance surfaces. It is primarily used in crafts and decoration and can be applied to wood, canvas, paper, cardboard, plaster, brick, stone, clay, etc., etc. It is spread with the help of brushes, cloths, rag pads... and takes between one and two hours to dry completely. What to do if JUDEAN BITUMEN dries? You already know that when we apply bitumen, we quickly need to wipe a clean cloth over the entire worked surface to remove the excess and allow the liquid to set in the crevices, joints, and all imperfections or moldings of the object we are working on. This is how we achieve that characteristic aged patina. However, sometimes we may take too long to reach an area and find it already dry. In these circumstances, there is a last resort: re-touch the area with the bitumen, either spray or brush. This re-moistens the previous layer and allows it to be cleaned without problems. Dry bitumen could also be removed with turpentine, turpentine essence, or petroleum essence, which dissolve it. Even so, obviously, the ideal is to do previous tests and calculate the times well, so that we do not cover more area than we can work on immediately. * We recommend doing a small application test before carrying out the final work. The supports on which the materials can be applied are so numerous that, to guarantee the desired performance, it is advisable to test them beforehand.
