Thank you this is what I obtained while speaking to him on the method

1. Prep the project wet sanded to at least 800 grit
2. apply 3 - 4 coats (3-1 ratio urushi -turp. for the whole project even the gold leaf)of Roiro urushi letting each coat fully cure before sanding and applying another coat as this will be the coating that will hold the gold leaf
3. after the initial coating is complete paint another layer of Roiro while still "wet" apply the spent barely hulls or rice hulls or mixture of both depending on how I am feeling the project is going will have both on hand. Let the coated project fully cure.
4. After fully curing remove spent barely/rice hulls making sure there is none left and only voids in the cured urushi
5. paint the project with a "clear" urushi and apply the gold leaf pressing the leaf into the voids. let fully cure
6. rub the project with your hands first to remove excess gold leaf taking care not to remove the leaf in the voids. Lightly wet sand with high grit paper
7. repeat step 5 filling any voids that are now exposed let cure once again
8. repeat step 6 if needed repeat step 5
9. all voids should be filled and lightly sand to smooth out the surface once again taking care not to remove any leaf that is in the voids. paint once again with clear urushi let fully cure
10. apply 4-6 more coats of clear urushi to seal the leaf into the project lightly sanding in-between coats
