    Hi Janet The traditional gold size will stain paper around the edges
    of the area to be gilded. I often use a water-based gold size
    (although I haven't used it on paper, I suspect it would work well). 
    It is an acrylic size called "Aquasize" by Rolco Labs Inc. It
    achieves the correct tackiness in 25 minutes and will remain ready to
    use for up to 24 hours. Very convenient too. We buy it from a large
    art supplies company called Curry's in Canada and also from a
    supplier for sign makers. Try similar place in Isreal.
