Is this food safe and heat safe when its finished? I would like to do this on my ceramic work. Also, if you have the materials, I would love to buy them from you
Old post, I know... but where did you buy your Urushi from? Even when I was in Japan, I couldn't track down Urushi other than raw or synthetic "urushi".
Mustn't you sand the broken edges down first? To make a gap to be filled by the glue? In my experiments with kintsugi, if I don't sand the edges down, I cannot get the pieces to fit correctly.
You aren't supposed to create a gap to be filled by the glue, the glue is supposed to stick the pieces together as best as you can, which should not be that hard if you did not lose any pieces or completely shatter the thing.
Muito lindo! Parabéns
Where can I find a good Brush for Kintsugi that you know for sure is good ?

Sanding down is always a good idea, it makes the glued part stronger And if it is done carefully it gives you a nice seam.
