    If the gold leaf is  very thin, it is used for enameling, and is not
    suitable for keum Boo.  If it is thickish almost like aluminum foil
    you can use it for Keum Boo.  The thin foil, cannot be handled,
    whereas the kind used for Keum boo will not crumple up when
    handled----but do handle it very gently, and  when cutting it, place
    it between two sheets of paper. I use tracing paper.  Alma
