Then, with the oil thus made fatty, grind a little lead white, massicot & mine de plomb , at discretion, as much of one as of the other. Minium gives color to the gold. Next, with this, you make a layer of it evenly on your stamp, taking care not to fill the hollows. And once it is almost dry, lay the gold leaf on it with cotton. Such gold will hold up in the rain on houses & elsewhere. And if you have gilded with tinsel, color it with fumée de perdrix or from yellow or red cloth, & it will be beautiful like pure gold. You can cover trunks, mirrors, canopies & posts of beds of colored velvet or satin and then apply the gilded stamped ornament on them with strong glue.
