Best explanation I could find on TH-cam. You made it incredibly straightforward and easy to follow and I now feel more comfortable to work with the kit that I have. Thank you!!
Hello sir, I've got a question: I have followed your instructions above and glued together a yixing teapot. The bottom part was broken into two parts as well as the lid, which was also broken in two parts. The bottom seems to hold quite well. The lid, which was broken roughly in the middle, however, did not last so well and broke again after being in contact with hot water a number of times. I have dried the parts for about 3 weeks before using them. Was that too short? Or do some parts sometimes need some extra support whith a metal brakcet or something? Thanks!
At 11:54 you mention thinning some urushi and sort-of priming the crack surface. Would you let this cure for some time before applying the mugi-urushi or simply apply mugi-urushi immediately?
(sorry if you mention this in the video), I'd like to know if there's any way to do kintusgi that is food safe, can objects mended together with this technique still be used for food/hot drinks, and put in the dishwasher? your way of explaining is very thorough, I appreciate that a lot, so if possible I'd like to follow along
He does mention that authentic kintsugi using urushi is food safe at about minute 17:30 or so. I don't think he says anything about it being dishwasher safe, but definitely food safe once it is cured.
This was really interesting and everyone seems to want to keep this a secret. I appreciate the commentary and it was great you explained everything. Will there be a follow up?
@@christiankbonnerDid you happen to get a chance to finish the edits? Honestly, even if you post a 3-hr long raw video, I can almost guarantee I wouldn’t be the only one watching it. ;) hopefully that takes a little bit of the pressure off.

Hi! Fantastic video! Do you have any tips for working with glass?
Wonderful explanations of the process. I hope you post the rest soon!

Absolutely brilliant explanation! Looking forward to hearing you explain more about traditional techniques.
Would love to see your next steps! Great informative video.
Can you provide a list of your suppliers; not just for tools but also the urushi and other Kintsugi materials?
Is there a way to know when it's done curing? I can't seem to find any clear information on that

Traditional kintsugi is food safe. Also dishwasher safe, BUT continuous hot water exposure can weaken the repair.
He shows at the start brown cup that has been repaired years ago and went to dishwasher many times, still stays intact
@@liivikasaarman995 no, he says that the dishwasher damaged the repair and that's why he has to fix it again now

I would also love to see next steps please!
Do you have the next steps to finish the kintsugi repair?
I have the unedited raw repair footage. If I have time to edit it I will post it as son as I get a chance.

If you don't have the money or time, try 2 part epoxy resin and mix in some gold mica.
how to acquire 'gold mica'?
@@marlenkag3155 From a craft shop. Very cheap. Cheers
But this is not proper kintsugi
Gold is very expensive.@@skularatna8136
