Judge Me By My Size, Do You?

So at Pennsic this year I took a class on gilding over at the Guild Mirandola merchant booth, and it was lots of fun. I got to play with gold and learn about various different adhesive substances (aka "sizes") used to stick it to paper or parchment. Some of them were not the sort of thing you'd have lying around the house (fish glue, gum ammoniac), while others could be made from things you could find at any grocery store.
