  Posted by Metalla on 21 November 2007 at 21:35

  Hello back again,

  I’m busy with making an album with all the photo’s in it of my works (leaded-glass, sand blowing glass and signwriting). But I was wondering what will be the best method for sizing (gluing) gold leaf on paper 200 gr, just want to make a pass-par-tout . Someone can give me some advice?

  Thank you.
  Cheers
  Ingrid
