DEF

Colle épaisse composée des restes de couleurs broyées à l'huile, recupérés autrefois pour les entoilages dits marouflages.

OBS

marouflage : Collage d'une toile forte (en jute ou filasse) sur une surface; autrefois, un marouflage était fait, souvent, en contre-parement (au dos) des lambris et des panneaux en planches, pour consolider leur assemblage et éviter l'ouverture des joints. Aujourd'hui, le marouflage désigne surtout le fait de noyer une bande de toile de fibre de verre (ou un mat de verre) dans une couche d'enduit ou de colle, en particulier au droit de fissures ou de joints que l'on veut ponter.
