Preparation of the glue :
Allow 100 g of rabbit skin glue to swell in 900 ml of water overnight then heat in a water bath (60 °C) without boiling until the glue is completely fluid. Sprinkle the white of Meudon little by little until the glue no longer absorbs the white of Meudon; turn the mixture to mix well, avoiding the formation of air bubbles.
Application :
Pass with a spalter a first layer of preparation on the wood. Leave to dry for about 2 hours then repeat the operation 3 times. After complete drying of the last layer, pass fine sandpaper over a wooden block to polish the surface without drilling.
