lettering size
A preparation used for sizing coated or
impregnated book fabrics before blocking with gold
leaf. It consists of equal parts of orange shellac
and alcohol, one-fourth part ordinary ammonia and
one-fourth part ethyl acetate. Cloths that are to
be blocked with gold or pigment foils do not have
to be sized in this manner, as the foil contains
its own size. (259 )
