![[Basic Kit] Traditional Kintsugi Tutorial - Food safe method - Broken ceramics](/img/tr.png)
I’m from Japan. We use “Urushi lacquer” for real Kintsugi, not resin. We bonded and dried up lacquer one month, and paint gold powder on this. It’s safety because made of natural material, and more flat sufece than this video’s one.
Agreed, this video should be titled "In the style of Kintsugi." Even the Modern style of Kintsugi uses Urushi and Gold.
Is it food safety?
Well duh.
Exactly. I use the original japanese technique with urushi.
@@cheh no
pro tip: after the epoxy has set but is still a bit sticky (not runny) use a fine paint brush to dust some more mica powder over the epoxy. this top layer of mica will set in the epoxy and make it look even more like a solid gold layer. This is how "humade" are instructing in their "new kinstugi repair kit". i managed to fix some of my favorite dishes that way and can only reccomend it. if you don't want to organize or buy the components separately, order the humade kit, including epoxy, mica, brush, and a a piece of steel epoxy, a clay like mass to fill in missing pieces of the pottery, which sets in about 8h to steel strength(!). i'm not linking here but you if you google humade new kinstugi you find the link from the netherlands. cheers and happy mending!
Like if you've been praying every night for Robert's return the past year!
Use synthetic mica! Real mica is mined in an unethical way! Love this tutorial! ✌️
This comment in underated!
Who the hell really cares
@@AJediSurvivor i know it's easy to say that, but what that single word represents is something much darker, kids are forced into mines, often without shoes, and can be left to die in unsafe conditions, the mines are very fragile and often collapse, basically child slavery with added pain
@@AJediSurvivor get outta here
Best epoxy kintsugi video I’ve come across. Thank you! I’ve watched so many and wished I’d have found yours first!
It's YOU! I'm so happy to see you doing beautiful things and helping people. Fantastic series. Congrats!
This is the clearest, most concise DIY kintsugi I’ve found and achieves the most polished end result! 🎉❤
So interesting and beautiful. I've never heard of this technique. And so great to see you, Robert! I've missed your videos. Welcome back!
It's so good to see you Robert! I love your projects and especially your calming instructions. Where can we see you regularly?
I'm so glad you are back Robert! This video is just great! Love your diys ❤️️
Of course I am completely stoked about this new series! Yay Kin, yay Robert!
I'm also reading for the 5th or 9th time "The Tea House Fire" which deals heavily with tea ceremony and all its aspects, including this kind of pottery mending. Definitely a good read!
Thank you for this easy look alike Kintsugi repair. I have too many precious memories broken and little money to become suddenly leave in the hands of expert at Kintsugi. This gives me the oportunity to mend what is broken in a beautiful way. Thank you.
That's beautiful
So good to see you Robert. I have missed your awesome crafts.
omg! its so great to see robert again. hope to see more from him :)
Omg Robert is back !!!!
Was finding a kintsugi tutorial and here it is 😊😊
Thanks for the tutorial as always
I haven't clicked so fast on a video!! So happy your back Robert!! I've missed your videos 😀
So glad you are back! I missed your great DIY ideas :-)
What a wonderful video and lesson! I know of this technique, but never thought about being able to recreate it!
ROBERT, YOU'RE FINALLY BACK! and this first project already looks amazing. i've been looking for an easy way to do kintsugi for a couple of years now. can't wait to see what you'll come up with next!
I love his calm voice and he explains it really well. It's not the actual technique used in Japan but it's easier to get those things and it's faster.
He’s so well spoken ...I love it!!
Beautiful, clear, instructional video, thank you for making and sharing it🌷 Also - in my view - regardless, what is the technique for the 'real' kintsugi, this craft with the idea of wabi-sabi behind it speaks volumes to the modern western world obsessed with perfection. Again thank you for making this video.
Robert! Welcome back! You were seriously missed!
This made me so happy! Robert is my favourite!
Yay! We missed you Robert! I hope to see more of these episodes! They're informational and fun 😊
Thanks for commenting!
yay! you are back robert! you were missed!
So happy to see you back Robert! Love this series! :) xx
thank you for the really calming diy. subbed!
I'm extremely excited to see in a video again! I have three exams tomorrow and and new video from you is the perfect de-stressor. I needed new ones as I've already watched everyone with you in it many times 😆
+Natalie Malone good luck with your exams! Glad this could serve as a little escape for you :)
So excited for this new series!
can one trim off the excess epoxy that bulges out? it is very unsightly! The most beautiful kintsugi lines are those that are flush with the pottery and not too thick!
thank you for your help!
Robert Mahar thank you so much for teaching!
And thank you for your very fast reply!
I've used this method and I've learned if you want it to look neater and more authentic use a thinner layer of resin so less bulges out and whilst its still wet use a tooth pick to even out the lines and neaten it, also when the epoxy is tacky but not dry you can dust extra gold with a brush, this will make it shinier. Hope this helps ^^
if the resin is soft you can also cut it with an exacto knife or something similar
Use a razor blade to shave off the epoxy while it's wet
@@johndavies7668 Where do you buy the gold powder to dust on?
Welcome back, Robert!!!!
I am so excited to find your channel and this tutorial. I bought a beautiful small handmade bowl at an artist community in the Adirondack and have been so sad that it broke in half. This is a beautiful technique and I love the idea of imperfections being part of the beauty. We should all take that idea in, eh? Very best wishes!
Yay so happy you found our channel too! This tutorial is perfect for your bowl, let us know how it turns out.
I've been obsessed with kintsugi for a while and love this diy! thank you :)
Wow that's amazing...Robert read your mind. x
he did :D
This is brilliant and beautiful!
BLESSS
HE'S BACK
YES! ROBERT'S BACK
Literally subscribed for Robert. He's my favvvv
+Sarah He's the best!
Dude! You’re good at this!
Thank you! I feel inspired to try kintsugi now. I have an off subject question...where did you get your lotus flowers? I love them and I'm having trouble finding such real looking lotus flowers. Thanks.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you!
Robert is back!!!! 💕💕💕 loved the diy!
Glad you liked it Maria!
Very nice, thanks for tips!
I love it, thank you for sharing! 😊💖
What cool idea ! We missed you robert !
is there another way to use the same technique and still be able to use the bowl as a functional utensil to eat out of
YUSSSS ROBERT IS BACK!!! :D
Thank you for this historical information it was great pleasure To see and hear🤩👏🌟🙏
Thank you for all the information it really sort my problem. I need to fix one of my masks that was broken in 2 and the effect is fantastic.
You're welcome! Happy this came in handy. :)
Your voice is so soothing
This is so cool! Really beautiful! Robert, I love all your crafts and I'm so glad to see you back on RUclips! You are so calming to listen to....kind of like a crafty Mr. Rogers! :o)
He's very calming...and creative!
Yay! Welcome back Robert!
Kin's queen and king of DIY!
So happy Robert is back!!!!! 💖💖💖
Yes!! Happy that you're happy.
New series starring Robert? Yay!! 😊😍
YES! Woohoo!
Yay!!! Your back!
This video really helped me. I have a ceramic jewelry box that my late grandmother had and hand painted. It's one of the very few things left I have of her. She loved unicorns and thus was riddled with them. My little one recently broke the lid on it and I was a little heart broken. But this gave me the idea on how to fix it. And be able to tell a funny story on how it happened later on in his life. And one he can tell his kids when I hand it down to him, so on and so fourth.
Why isn't it recommended to eat or drink from the bowls anymore? Is there a way around this? Such as coating the epoxy on the inside with another safer substance?
Yay! Robert is back!
He certainly is! xo
Welcome back into our lives, Robert.
Robert Mahar In the sheer excitement of having you back with us, I forgot to thank you for such a wonderful demonstration. It was beautiful and insightful. Hoping to see you attempt some craft style from India, soon. Take care, Robert.
Rooooooobeeeeeerrrrrrrt! I've missed you!!!!
Yay!! Robert's back!!
Yes he is :)
Can you use gold powder instead of the powered you talked about in the video?
Wow you are back again, 🎉
Yes!!!
Can this be used on acrylic I have a crack in the old vintage acrylic bag that I’m trying to fix and I glued it but it doesn’t look as appealing but this method looks really cool
I've repaired some broken dishes with this idea. The way I do mine is to paint all my edges with gold paint then glue it all together. Turns out perfect every time.
Lol
thanks Robert :D
I love this.......This is just indicative of how God restores us. He is the Potter we are the broken vessel. When God restores us He puts us back together more beautiful than before.
Amen ! 🙏✝️
@kin community will using an acrylic paint instead of the mica powder work?
can I use other clay powder (those used in face mask) instead of mica ?
Robert is my favorite!! 😍
You're not alone!
How can i repair a ceramic mug with a very slow leak from at the bottom. I would like to repair it so the mug will be waterproof so i can use it for coffee. Any suggestions or video’s you can revommend?
Looking at fixing a bowl for a friend, anyone know any good places to buy epoxy or mica in the UK?
It was Very Awesome
Would this work with glass
can this fix handle hot water? because I'm looking for methods to fix my favorite mug.
love the idea, i'll make this right now :)
Yes try it out and let us know what you think!
OH MY GOSH this is GORGEOUS!!!!!
+Simply Handmade thanks for commenting!! Glad you think so! Xo
The original Japanese Technic take weeks so this tip its very usu full for us, to save some pieces and make it a beautiful ornamentation for home.
wooooooooooow missed u rob
You can find food safe epoxies, combined with actual gold powder, you can have your bowl back and sip your tea.
Where can one purchase the items needed for the filling?
I need to do this to a piece I have. Where can I find a kit to do this?
Where can I get small trays like that?
Don't ever rotate the two part epoxy like the video shows. It will get hardner on the epoxy and it will harden and now you will have your applicator glued shut.
What might I use if I wish to eat from it?
Great video but the end result isn't ever close to Kintsugi unfortunately, the cheese wiz appearance takes away from wabi sabi and breaks the piece in a way that isnt natural hence completely misses the mark. The technique i use is also two part epoxy (traditional kintsugi uses a natural lacquer made from tree sap) let that cure taking care to make the split look almost invisible and perfectly smooth. Then i use gold leaf paint to paint the thinnest line possible, just enough so that you can no longer see the hairline crack. Traditionally a red lacquer was used then the gold was dusted on while it was wet. you could go that route as well. Once again great video and message, i just feel that it doesn't do justice to the actual art.
Which shade of gold did you use? I am hesitating between classic gold or flashy gold. Thank you.
We didn't use a metallic powder, instead we opted for a gold mica powder similar to this one: amzn.to/2xLrMJ9
I would like a super safe food grade alternative.
watch the kintsugi video from Alex the french chef -> "I Made A (foodsafe) Hack On Kintsugi..."
ruclips.net/video/eO9CnS-NqO8/видео.html
This video put me to sleep. I think it was this guys hypnotic voice 😂
Thank you so much. I am a mental health worker. I've been researching kintsugi recently as a way to help kids cope and confront trauma related issues. I will be guiding one of the kids I work with soon through a kintsugi project. Your video is extremely helpful. Know that it will be part of a legacy of healing. :)
Is this food safe? Like can I repair a coffee mug and then use it with hot coffee? Or would the epoxy be toxic?
5:16
Is there a way to do this that would be food safe?
Also, does anyone know of videos of the actual Kinstugi process? I really want to see it.
Dave Pike does a lot of it on his channel. ruclips.net/video/XFbU5bCNGg0/видео.html
I do traditional kintsugi. It is so much more powerful and meaningful that some epoxy and paint. I really wish that people would quit calling this kintsugi. It's an insult to the dedication, patience, etc that the real process uses.
As for food safe, it can be done traditionally, but it can be very costly as you must use real gold to avoid metal poisoning.
Compared to Urushi, using epoxy looks like glueing stuff together with plastic goo. If I'm ever going to do Kintsugi, I'll be sure to do it right.
Am I just not mixing my epoxy well enough or am I just putting too much because it's so drippy. Immediately starting dropping off the ledges before I could even attach it to the other piece T.T I'm gonna have to try again a couple more times haha
Could i use the repaired cup/dish for food?
Did you watch the entire video? 5:16
is this heat safe?
Robert is talented and cute as a button!!
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1missed your show:))))))
something makes me feel his research was limited to just one video, a video by nerdwriter1. How do I know? because this was a recommendation from that specific video and everything including the wordings of this video are similar to that.
