Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. It treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
The kit typically includes glue, a decorative marker (often gold-colored), porcelain pieces, a base for the coaster, and gloves.
This kit is designed for the included porcelain pieces to create coasters. While it teaches the Kintsugi technique, it may not be suitable for repairing valuable or functional items without testing first, as the included adhesive and finishes are specific to this kit's purpose.
Drying times can vary, but generally, allow several hours for the glue to set and at least 24 hours for it to fully cure before handling or using the coaster.
The coasters are intended for general use, but are not fully waterproof. It's best to hand wash them gently if needed and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
This kit is suitable for children and adults. Younger children may require adult supervision due to the use of glue and handling of potentially sharp ceramic edges.
The kit provides specific colors for the Kintsugi effect. While you can explore mixing if you're creatively inclined, the primary goal is to use the gold marker to highlight the seams as per the traditional technique.
Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before applying glue. Allow adequate drying time as per instructions, and avoid placing stress on the join until fully cured.
Shake the marker vigorously and press the tip down on a scrap surface to start the flow. If clogged, gently clean the tip.
Practice on a scrap piece first. Apply the marker with steady, even pressure. For minor imperfections, consider a second light application after the first has dried, if recommended by instructions.
Ensure the glue was applied generously to the joining surfaces and that sufficient curing time was given. Handle with care, especially when first used.
