Hello everyone,
I was wondering if there are any recipies for making my own Gilders clay bole from scratch?
I read the post about the 19th century gilders clay bole,but information is missing..
Thank you

I took a few minutes break from my tenure work to consult my
library. I can find no complete recipe. Most, even those quite ancient just
mention grinding Armenian bole. I have seen references to adding tallow and in
others graphite (this was done to give bole /clay like properties to pure iron
oxides) but no complete recipe. Now I did not read through every reference that
I have any maybe another MITRA member may be able to chime in.
