will any adhesive work, or does it have to be size adhesive?

[BlickVideos]

@tehdebbeh It is recommended to use adhesive size for the gold leaf, however you can experiment to see if other adhesives work to give you the results you are looking for. The Simple Leaf has a double sided adhesive film which makes application very easy.

@YoGuy121 The pieces of the gold leaf that do not stick to the adhesive are reuseable.
