About Kintsugi Repair Originating from an ancient traditional repair technique, Kintsugi uses natural lacquer to mend ceramics. This process causes no further damage to the object. The natural adhesive is free from chemical pollutants and, once fully hardened over time, becomes resistant to acids, alkalis, and high temperatures, with minimal risk of peeling. The primary ingredient in the repair process is raw lacquer. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/799944/f/7374083.jpeg . Raw lacquer is a resin collected from lacquer trees, a gift from nature, unlike synthetic chemicals that have pungent odors. The character "漆" (qī) literally describes the sap that flows when a person makes an incision in a tree. It was originally used for wood protection and repair, and its inherent stickiness is the origin of the idiom "如膠似漆" (rú jiāo sì qī), meaning "like glue and lacquer," signifying a very close relationship. . Guangshanhang Lacquerware Craftsmanship traces its roots back to 1946, founded by the master lacquer artist Mr. Lai Gaoshan. It is now managed by the third generation, Lai Xinyou, and has been deeply dedicated to Taiwanese lacquer craftsmanship for over seventy years. The raw lacquer, tools, and other materials selected for this kit are those used in the studio and approved by the artisans. With a clear, easy-to-understand illustrated instruction manual, even beginners can easily get started. . *The materials in the Thank You KINTSUGI Kintsugi Repair Tool Kit are all natural, unlike simple repair kits with synthetic adhesives.* . Caution: Natural lacquer contains urushiol, which can cause varying degrees of lacquer allergies upon skin contact in its liquid form. Therefore, it is recommended to wear gloves during operation.

Are there material restrictions for items that can be repaired with the Kintsugi material kit? (e.g., mugs, ceramics, glass cups...) Yes, this kit is primarily for repairing earthenware and porcelain. It is not suitable for glass. Q2. Approximately how many items can be repaired with one material kit? This depends mainly on the size of the repaired area. For example, if a standard Starbucks mug is broken into three pieces, you can repair at least 5 such items. Q3. Is there a shelf life? It is recommended to use the raw lacquer, black lacquer, and red lacquer within two years. Avoid direct sunlight. After use, wipe the bottle opening clean to prevent excess lacquer from drying and making it difficult to open. Q4. Can repaired containers still be used as tableware? The Thank You KINTSUGI Kintsugi Repair Kit - PRO Professional Edition contains pure gold powder, so it can be used for tableware repair. The method without sprinkling powder is called "Urushi-tsugi" (lacquer mending). You can refer to the fifth photo on the page for an example of a piece repaired with red lacquer.
