Meaning

Granulation and layering are distinct shaping or arranging actions in the metallic examples. One reduces a prepared body into grains; the other places materials in successive layers. They are subordinate acts within the described operations, not additional principal stages. Their lexical distinction helps explain the text’s practical vocabulary without endorsing its toxic historical materials or claimed transmutations.
