Discover Kintsugi - Repairing a Crack

Learn how to repair pieces with cracks — both hairline and deeper fractures — utilizing authentic kintsugi, a Japanese repair technique. We collaborated with a master restorer who has repaired historical sights to last for the centuries to come. While the traditional method may take longer, it will not only breathe life back into your piece but will help it last for decades if not centuries to come. You can buy the Kit and find more on https://pojstudio.com/pages/kintsugi. Many videos circulating on the internet show a version of Kintsugi that doesn’t use the traditional technique or material, often resulting in repairs that do not last. Why don’t they show the authentic way? First of all, it takes longer than a few minutes to do so. The “quick fix”, which oftentimes includes using a chemical glue, comes with restrictions such as not being able to hold hot liquids or simply breaks again in a few days or weeks, not to mention how toxic it can be. 00:00 Introduction 00:50 Chapter 1 / What is Kintsugi 01:03 Chapter 2 / What to prepare 01:37 Chapter 3 / Making A Muro 03:18 Chapter 4 / Identify the Crack 05:41 Chapter 5 / Making Sabi Urushi 09:20 Chapter 6 / Sanding Sabi Urushi 10:30 Chapter 7 / Applying Eurushi 14:02 Chapter 8 / Applying Kuroroiro 17:32 Chapter 9 / Finishing with Gold Powder
