Jason,
I'm not real familiar with goldleafing. What is "Limco 1202 as a sizing"?

 

[jason]

limco is a brand of base and 1202 is the stock #, its just a clear base used to put your candy consontrate in

If you are wanting to put some candy over the leaf, sure, you can use a clear 'base' color mixed with candy to spray over your leaf. I've done this before where I spray candy gold over a silver leaf to give it a gold ting.
I guess that is what you wanted to know?

Wasn't for sure what you meant by "Limco 1202 as a sizing".

It is interesting to know about limco 1202, which is brand & base. I am also interested in knowing about the gold leafing in detail. Please, do share this knowledge with us.

What do you clean the brush with that you applied the size with?
