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.
Does the Urushi Lacquer lose its allergenic properties after it has cured?
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 10 chipped items or 3~5 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?
Yes, urushi lacquer becomes very robust when it hardens.
But it is not suitable for items that are directly exposed to fire, as this will damage the urushi lacquer.
Is kintsugi appropriate for a glass item?
Glass is not suitable for kintsugi because urushi lacquer does not work well.

Customer Reviews
The quality of the product is superbe, the presentation too. And the tutorial video is perfect to understand how to use and been successful with Kintsugi Repair.
Everything in this kit is high quality, and the presentation is beautiful. Tutorial is easy to follow and easy to access, you just scan a QR code. I’m so happy with this purchase!
Was shocked that it arrived in less than two weeks after coming back in stock (I live in USA). The kit is exactly as described on the site and the instructional video is very clear. I’m delighted to be able to bring new life to my broken favorite plate, especially since mending methods that use epoxy glue aren’t food safe. I was worried kintsugi would either be a) only accessible by sending my broken plate to a professional at great expense, or b) be extremely difficult and require lots of practice to master; this kit has proved that neither is true. The process is labor intensive and time-consuming but ultimately very forgiving; all mistakes can be corrected with a little patience. I’m grateful that this kit exists.
What a beautifully presented product. The despatch service is swift and seamless. The product is exactly as described and excellent quality. The instructional video provided by the seller is quite detailed and easy to follow. I am looking forward to trying my new kit out soon. Thank you Chimahaga!
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.
