Rub the steel with common aquafortis, mixing the said water with earth & next rub the whole with ashes or sand. & the goldwill touch & the silver as on a touchstone.
Steel
Aquafortis (Nitric Acid)
Earth
a. Ashes
b. Sand
Gold
Silver
Touchstone (traces of different qualities of gold react in different ways to nitric acid on the touchstone)-
Other instances of imitation coloring are present in the manuscript. Both of the following include touchstone.
For giving the color of all kinds of metals to wood & other things
Take touchstone & pumice stone as much of one as of the other & grind them together & mix with a glue de retailles stronger than that used for painting, & paint it on whatever you like. Once dry, rub this layer with any metal whatsoever, then burnish it.
Gilding your molding for panels without gold
Some take orpiment in leaf form & pulverize it & make moresque leaves & burnish it, and it is this orpiment which is shiny like gold. However, ground metals or ground cristallin or touchstone are better.
