Precaution
Is it true that Urushi Lacquer can cause a rash?
Yes, urushi lacquer causes a severe rash when getting it on the skin.
So, be sure to wear gloves while using this kit.

After the Urushi lacquer is completely dry, it is harmless to the human body.
How many items can be repaired with this kit?
You can repair about 5 chipped items or 1~2 broken items.
However, the actual number of items that can be repaired depends on the size of the damage.
If you want to repair more items, you will need additional gold powder.
Is it ok for hot liquids or foods?

But it is not suitable for items that are directly exposed to fire, as this will damage the urushi lacquer.

Customer Reviews
I’m happy with the product, but did not follow recommandations about wearing gloves. My mistake, I ended up with a severe allergic reaction similar to poison Ivy contact. Please be careful, avoid skin contact.
Kintsugi Repair Kit
Perfect set and explanations! Thank you!
Lovely kit to get started. Hope to buy more from this seller.
The kit arrived with a punctured tube of urushi, so the seller sent me a new one free of charge and it arrived very quickly. I am excited to repair a broken sake cup from my partner's fav set.
