You can segment your surface when the object is large to manage. Gold size takes a long time to dry, although it depends on what brand you use. But surely take them a little more time. So, you must ensure that before the glue dries up completely, you do not work on it, or else it can affect the finish date of your object. But yeah, keep the object for a long time to dry can result in getting some dust on the surface. After this you can the gold leaf. Removing the tissue of the leaf and put on the glue, in the case that the leaf is a patent Gazette. Note that you handle the sheet and tactful and throw away the fabric. Now pat a cloth on the surface to remove any extra leaves. Not throw this, instead save them for later use in smaller objects. The background color must show by the leaves
Real gold leaf must be sealed because they can get oxidized. Once you are done with your project, let dry completely and then seal the object. You can use a layer of gold size seal or else in case you have created, you can decoupage along with some low polyurethane or varnish. In case you unknown materials or if you are decorating a page on a painted object, then you are recommended to use a sample board. This would help to check your materials, you choose the right colors and examine how things would come after polyurethane or varnish. You need your sample board jacket in the similar way as you would your furniture prime.
During working with pictures you need paper of the same width. Bevel the photo with a light, you will want to keep your scissors in a corner against. Now paste the picture on the carton using gum.

And then you have a damp cloth to clean any spilled gum and allow it to dry. After the gum gets dried using a course cloth to dust off each grain. Your object is now ready for the first layer of polyurethane. Don't forget the untouched for about 24 hours until it is dry. You can use a brush to apply thin uniform layers of polyurethane. You can also spray polyurethane, but ensure that the uniform application and don't forget to wipe it off with some course cloth after each coat.
Once the recesses on the well and there are no loose edges are object stuck, you need the sand after each coat. You can use a # 600 wet/dry sandpaper to do this. Also keep your tack cloth handy and use. Note that the object in one direction sand. And as soon as its dry, your item ready for another layer of polyurethane. So many jackets need apply. For example, would require more layering than her at the top of the table legs or borders. You must color photo copy of your image before hair cut out.
