The part you wish to have leaf gold, cover evenly with gold size. Chrome

yellow or white lead may be mixed in with the gold size to enable you to

see the process. Allow it to dry until a little sticky. It can remain

much longer than for bronzing, as leaf gold does not require so strong a

sticking property as bronze. When sufficiently dry, put on the gold by

means of the tip, or your fingers, from the gold book. Be careful to

cover every part of the gold size with smooth leaf-gold. When all

covered, press gently a piece of soft chamois skin, on all the gilded

parts, and remove the superfluous gold.
