Ive just given kinsugi a go (with epoxy) and did some experimenting with techniques I learned that patience plays a bit part, and I need to have more of it 🤣 I know some people are saying this is not Kintsugi - but this is what is included in online Kintsugi kits you can buy. It would be great to be able to do the traditional Kintsugi but using these tools/materials makes ot possible for anyone to try it at home ❤

[@tardarsauce3355]

Very simple and short! I like it

[@mrivero3779]

Cool music, good instructional pace and information. Thank you. 😊

[@ahbn106]

Very helpful, thank you.

[@mariekeverhulst4993]

I like it; I was wondering if i could use kit instead of 2 components glue and then put gold plaque on it? And I wondered about the ten minute wait.. the rest of the mixed glue will be hard or do you have to proportion it very well?

[@lornacy]

You probably have to mix a new batch of glue for each crack.

[@lornacy]

Very nice!

[@evelynhernandez6795]

can i still eat from the plate? or is this more for decor?

[@TsahayluFa]

No. Not with epoxy. Also, unless the pottery has vitrified, the raw surface will possibly harbor bacteria since it's porous.

[@AlanisonYT]

@@TsahayluFa do you know if the bacteria being harbored is also an issue with traditional kintsugi? Or is the urushi like a disinfectant? Thanks for your time!

[@faloof9388]

Non vitrified pieces are not a problem if you care for them well, and if the clay is food safe. If you clean it then it won’t harbor bacteria.

[@justinraymund]

Thank you for demystifying this for me!! I always thought I had to melt down gold to do this. 😂. So easy. So fun. I will definitely be doing this.

[@rochellealberti6688]

For true kitsugi you do have to melt gold.

[@lornacy]

​@@rochellealberti6688Can you send a link to some instructions for that? Everything I found online showed the traditional method using a special lacquer and gold dust. I would love to know how they kept the molten metal only in the cracks.

[@rochellealberti6688]

@@lornacy It was done by mixing the metal with urushi

[@lornacy]

@@rochellealberti6688 That's the lacquer, right? But I can't imagine you would mix melted gold with lacquer.

[@rochellealberti6688]

@@lornacy I am not sure. Those are just things I have read and been told by a friend from Japan...but chances are I missed something in translation!!

[@Kintsugi.tv1]

This is not Kintsugi, it is gluesugi or epoxsugi.

[@ARDIZsq]

Agreed. I thought it was going to somehow be a quick guide on it, but nope, it's just 10 minute epoxy and some gold pigment powder. Kinda disappointing, but good if you're just wanting to do it for a craft or prop I guess.

[@stefanogarbuglia]

I think the technical term is shitsugi

[@sanguiVSdobbi]

Man, what crawled up your asses?

[@yogismoki]

​@@stefanogarbuglia Agreed

[@pam007]

What is the different I don't know

[@ethanwilson9406]

Why so many butthurt people? This method is fine get over yourself

[@LAFRAGUADELUZ]

Jo Clara!!

[@meglivica1001]

Is this food safe?

[@khmerman41486]

If you use modern methods like epoxy, no it won't be food safe. You can use the traditional method and use urushi, a Japanese lacquer, and that would be food safe.

[@meglivica1001]

@@khmerman41486 Thank you very much ~< or at least in big online shops

[@SuperxMosquito]

@@meglivica1001 You could find glue or epoxy with food safe standard instead of urushi

[@valerioskonosov6609]

And the worldwide items sell for and arm and leg of a price :S So food safe epoxy could be ok, not sure need to do more research on it :) Good luck though @@meglivica1001

[@elainearchari8321]

Can I use gold acrylic paint if I don't have gold powder?

[@AlanisonYT]

Possibly, but might not be food safe? and depending on the composition of the gold acrylic paint, it may not have the same sheen/level of polish as traditional kintsugi

[@pchinnIII]

That has to be less than the bare minimum instructional video. I will look elsewhere

[@Junior-jz2ug]

Lana del Rey said

[@d0l0resmary13]

Nice, but this is not kintsugi.

[@ger5956]

Absolutely not Kintsugi, it’s like someone who heard a story about kintsugi while drinking tried to explain it the next day to you and that was all the research you did…

[@CreativeUsernameEh]

Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck…

[@mnoyanz4758]

Not kintsugi and also not clean job 👎
