Step 5Gold leaf
Now we need to apply some gold leaf. The first stage of this process is to paint a layer of leafing "size" into the letters of the title. "Size" is a water based glue, similar to PVA but it stays "open" which means it doesn't completely dry.
Use a small brush to carefully paint the size into the letter depressions you have just finished.
Try to keep the size into the holes you have cut, but don't worry too much if it overflows, you can fix that later.
Do the whole title and wait until it's "dry". It will be tacky if you touch it but it won't come off on your finger.
