Continue to lay the leaf

I continue to lay the leaf, overlaping 1/8" as I go.

You want to keep a consistant overlap, as it looks

uniform to the art this way.

On occasion, the gold will tear, or even break. To a

sertain extent this is a desireable thing. Big breaks

or tears are not good, (most times) so minimize this

as best you can.

Flecking is another look that happens. Again, some is

good, but not to much.
