abendgulesFound a short article about Ceninni's gesso on the Society of Gilders website. (PDF)
YouTube: I've left out the many examples of people using transfer leaf (US patent leaf) because that's not what's causing me grief.
Charles Douglas - best video I've found so far but very brief
Bethlehem icon school - water gilding an icon, very lovely, handling gold in whole sheets
How (not to) gold leaf - novices errors. Low quality video, Aussie narration.
Free online water gilding course - Lesson 4 is about actually handling the gold.
Extensive series on making icons, including gilding and egg tempera - might be of interest. In Greek, w/ English subtitles
Another series, this time in Italian, about gilding wood decorations. The link is for the actual gold handling bit.
