Either or both would be greatly appreciated.  Also, if you could ask your 
local friend which type of sizing she uses for her gold leaf, that would be 
great, too.  I have boiled down some leather, but in practice applications it 
does not set "tacky" enough to hold the gold very well (lots of "spotting", 
where the gold doesn't adhere)  Thanks so much for your help.
