金継ぎ — fixing broken things with gold

What is Kintsugi!

IT IS JAPANESE ART OF FIXING BROKEN THINGS WITH GOLD POWDER. THE CRACKS ARE NOT HIDDEN THEY ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PART IN IT.

The idea is simple:broken things do not ruin they shine beautifully.

What do you get in kit?

None of these are confirmed untill we officialise

Steps

1. Clean everything — wash the broken pieces, let them dry completely.

2. Dry fit first — figure out how the pieces go together before gluing.

3. Mix resin — equal parts, work fast, it sets in about 5 min.

4. Glue — apply with a toothpick, press together, hold for a few minutes.

5. Wait 24 hours — don't rush this part.

6. Add gold — mix powder into resin, paint along the cracks.

7. Sand — once dry, lightly sand for a clean finish.

Do not try to hide cracks and the same you have to do in our program.
