If you have any questions regarding the kintsugi procedure, please ask them in the Kintsugi Forum on my official website. chimahaga.com/community/my/kintsugi-forum I have not been able to check the TH-cam comments recently because there are too many, so I will not be able to answer your questions here.
So cool. I know that gold powder can’t be cheap. I would be keeping the cotton used in the process and after a jar is collected, I would definitely be recollecting the lost gold. I wonder how they powder the gold so fine.
I would like to thank you immensely for making your knowledge available. This was the most complete and detailed Kintsugi video I have ever seen and I have been studying it for a while now. I also thank you for writing the words, as I often couldn't understand the materials that were spoken in other videos.
My wife just broke her favorite bowl last night, so I decided I would try to repair it and came across your videos. I would greatly appreciate any advice on my project.
I love Kintsugi so much, as a ceramist in the making, this will be my next thing to learn. Kintsugi just highlights the uniqueness of a broken piece and makes it even more endearing... your work is flawless❤
I absolutely love your work-specifically the super smooth and shiny finish of your gold-I’ve recently switched to real gold from brass but now the finish looks very grainy, even when I make sure the underlying layer super smooth. Do you polish it or use some kind of finer gold? Any advice would be much appreciated ☺️
There are many possible causes for a gold surface to become grainy. One possibility is that there is a problem with the underlying layer. Even if the coating is smooth, it is useless if it is not thin enough. If it is not thin enough, it is likely to become grainy. Another possibility is that there is a problem with the grain size of the gold powder. In this video, a type of gold powder with fine particles called keshifun is used. In kintsugi, other types of gold powder with larger particles called marufun are sometimes used. In the case of marufun, it needs to be polished, so the method in this video will not work. Even if keshifun is used, the particle size varies slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer, so it may be useful to consider using gold powder from a different manufacturer.
Amazing, thank you so much!!🙏 I will experiment a bit ☺️ I use turpentine to thin the urushi a bit but perhaps that’s not thin enough still…or not a good method 😅
It is not a good idea to mix telepine with bengara urushi in the finish. It should be applied in a thin layer, not diluted. There may be someone who uses telepine to thin the finish, in which case you should completely imitate that person's method. Partial adoption of various people's methods and tools often does not work.
I have the kit. Im looking to repair a few dragon scale cups and a pitcher. The bottom of the pitcher was shattered around where there isnt glaze. The neck is tight. How do I do the inside of it?
The same approach would be good in that case. However, try to draw the lines even finer than in this video. In this video, I applied a generous amount of urushi because it can be scraped off later without staining, but with unglazed ceramics, the painted area may turn black even after scraping, so apply a thinner paint. It may be better to use bengara urushi than black urushi because bengara urushi is more sticky.
@@EmmaPaine-c8h As a slight correction, the fact that bengara urushi is more sticky is limited to the urushi that I sell. The consistency of urushi varies depending on the manufacturer, so it is difficult to make a general statement.
Pardon I don't know if someone ask this before, but what alternative do you recommend instead of pure gold or silver? Or it's not possible without them? I wont to use mica or other kind of artificial powder Thank you
How expensive is this method? I mean, the ceramics used in these examples looked pretty run-of-the-mill, but in real life, I take it that this method would only be used with very expensive ceramics. Or with the aim to create art.

Where do i buy all this materials ? (Europe)
This is the most detailed, the most educational and professional Kintsugi work I have seen on YT.
This is more beautiful than the original pottery. And takes so much patience. You are a true craftsman.

So lovely of you! Best husband award

Wow! Beauty. I've one question. Can I put it in the microwave?
Thank you for the explanation on stain prevention. What temperature is 'low temperature'?
The work is very beautiful!
May I ask, can medome prevent ice crack glaze from staining?
What do you use to glue pieces together first?
where do you buy materials for work (kintsugi)?
I have the kit. Im looking to repair a few dragon scale cups and a pitcher. The bottom of the pitcher was shattered around where there isnt glaze. The neck is tight. How do I do the inside of it?
Is this still safe to use as a cup to drink out of?
magnifique bravo
Nice
Love this! Would you recommend the method in step 1 for cracks on a surface that isn't glazed?
The same approach would be good in that case.

May I ask how long this process took from start to finish?

Thank you
Can you use the ceramic with kintsugi repair as normal, meaning filling it with water or drinks, tea, coffee or food? Thank you.
Is this heat resistant?
is it rice floor ??

kirei😍
how long do you wait before applying the gold to bengara irushi?
Amazing ✨ also can share the music that you used in the background?
Thank you, I composed both music. But I'm sorry, neither song is available for streaming.
@@chimahaga Impressive! It's beautiful.
