Regarding gold gilding on wooden doors with a glossy surface finish - can it be done on smooth surfaces with a glossy finish as well using the Kutsuki Max?

If the surface has been processed, it will repel water-based Kutsuki MAX. Let's grind the surface with sandpaper to return it to its base. After sanding (removing the surface treatment), apply Kutsuki MAX. If it seems to be absorbed, apply a primer to prevent absorption before applying the gold gilding glue. It is fine to use other products such as polyester surfacer or urethane paint for the primer treatment.
