How to Kintsugi, golden joinery,
to treat breakages and repair pottery.
●STEP1●
Wash the cracked parts well.


 

Clean the cracked parts.　(The adhesive property gets weakened when the surface is rough.)

●STEP2●

Prepare the putty (synthetic resin).


 

The synthetic resin consists of two layers, 

the white layer and the gray layer.
It will not harden if it is not thoroughly mixed.

●STEP3●
Knead the putty(synthetic resin).


 

Measure out enough putty to repair the

chipped parts, and roll the putty quickly with

your fingers.　
Knead the putty until it becomes uniformly 

one color (about 1 minute)

●STEP4●
Fill the chipped parts.


Once the putty(synthetic resin) is uniform

color, roll it into a small ball shape and press 

it against the chipped part.The size of a small

ball shape which is slightly larger than the 

chipped part leads good finish.

●STEP5●

Finish the surface.


 

The putty (synthetic resin) hardens very

quickly.
The trick is to finish filling the chipped parts

in about three minutes or less.


●STEP6●
Sand with water-resistant paper.


 

Sand the surface while lubricating 

the water-resistant paper with

 clean water.



Be careful not to scratch other objects.
●STEP7●

Mix gold powder and Shin Urushi(new 

Japanese lacquer)


 

Mix using a one to one ratio between golden

powder and Shin Urushi(new Japanese 

lacquer) .



Adjust the concentration by adding som

drops of diluent.



The concentration is perfect when the
brushmark slip quickly fades.

(synthetic resin).

lacquer so that it completely 

covers the sealant.
It is "placing" rather than "painting".
