    I am doing a lot of projects just now and one is to apply aluminum leaf to a picture frame. I have read on-line how to do this and also in years past, probably in books. Have any of you done this yourselves? If so any tips maybe that the pros would not think of? Thanks

    I just used copper leaf for the first time--lots of fun. Do not do it in the wind or under a fan. Do not let your fingers get sticky or you will be leafed.
