Here’s some notes:

This is a time consuming process not so much the applying of the leaf but all the coats of epoxy. I usually do these plugs first in the beginning of my building season and just give them a coat of epoxy every time I do my other plugs.

Go slow!! The leaf is very thin and tears easily.

Keep any fans off , stay away from open windows or doors, the leaf will easily blow away on you and makes a mess.

I wear gloves the whole time I’m applying the leaf, if I get adhesive on the gloves I change them so they don’t stick to the part I’m trying to rub down.

The leaf comes in all sorts of colors, gold, silver, copper, red, green, black and blue variegated and bronze.

It usually takes me two full sheets to do a plug this size.
