Kintsugi Repair Kit Gold, Japanese Kintsugi Kit to Improve Your Ceramic, Repair Your Meaningful Pottery with Gold Powder Medium, Perfect for Beginners Restoring Meaningful Gifts

***this product is not food grade rated because it is epoxy*** I was able to put my childhood teapot back together because of this kit and I’m very grateful. I preferred a cleaner look so I waited for the epoxy to dry and I was able to scrape away the excess. Also wiped away excess while it was still wet and I firmly pushed the pieces together until the epoxy took hold. Be sure to arrange your pieces before you mix anything and make sure everything fits together correctly. Make sure you mix together enough epoxy to do one piece at a time because it dries V E R Y quickly. Remember to take your time! I ended up just missing one piece but I was able to fill in the gap with the epoxy and it did the job. I’m happy to say that this epoxy is water proof but definitely make sure you hand wash whatever it is you’re using this on. Overall a good product and labor of love.

I have to say - this worked a treat. I had purchased a handmade bowl I LOVED and my new kitten knocked it over her first night in the house and broke it into about 9-10 pieces. I remembered this method of repair and thought it could be perfect. Here’s what I learned: 1) it can’t hurt to try this. You’ll likely throw your broken item out anyway if you’re unhappy with the outcome - at least this could repair it. 2) follow directions. Put epoxy on both sides you’re joining. It makes a difference. 3) you need to be confident enough to move quickly but not so fast that you’re sloppy with the handling of the materials. It dries in about five minutes from the time you mix it - and with good reason. It’s enough time to get it mixed, put the epoxy on both sides and line up your pieces —- and then you need to join those pieces confidently so the epoxy oozes from the seem and HOLD IT in place until the five minutes is up and its chemical reaction is complete enough to hold. If you let go to early, the seam will split (it won’t look good) and you risk the piece falling off. Hold it long enough to bond and you’re golden - don’t get impatient!!!! 4) don’t rush. Give the previous pieces you’ve joined time to really bond/cure before adding your next piece so you’re not pushing/pressing on pieces that don’t have good firmness yet. All in all I’m VERY pleased with the outcome - but I’m also no novice to handcraft. I’d imagine that inexperienced crafters would really struggle with this. You have to have a solid game plan, a good sense of what needs doing, an appreciation for the method and both confidence and patience all at once. If you’re not experienced crafter and skillful with your hands, this will likely be very messy and frustrating for you. Also: this method isn’t for perfectionists. It’s meant to highlight the breaks and putting a piece back together will not result in a perfect outcome with smooth gold lines. It’s oozing epoxy and that doesn’t happen evenly ;-)

At first, I was really excited to do this project and because of my excitement I failed to read the instructions. Whenever you put the mixture into a little paper bowl, you’re supposed to put the glitter in before you start putting it onto your ceramic edges. I didn’t read that part, and I stuck the ceramic pieces together with just the resin and no glitter. I tried to go back and add the glitter, but it was not sticking so I took apart the pieces again and mixed new resin with glitter to put the pieces together. I put too much in this process and it did get very globby and gloopy and so there is a lot of bumping and dripping that happened because of that. This kit also comes with a pair of gloves and a mask, both of which I was too excited to look at or use or even think about. This mixture is extremely difficult to wash off your skin, and it smells very strong like chemicals so I would recommend using those protective products. As you can see in the photos above the end result is not exactly the same as the traditional Japanese. Process that uses gold because this is resin and glitter. I think it’s affordable and easy if you want to do something simple but I’m not sure I would use it on some thing I want to drink out of or eat out of. It was good enough for fixing the ceramic bowl I made in high school, but it isn’t fancy like I imagined

Product was packaged well and arrived in good condition. SO EASY TO USE. Instructions are very clear. The glue sets up quickly. The amount of glue provided is appropriate for the likely project since the projects are probably a one time small repair. I didn't feel like I was wasting glue. I did not use the gloves nor the paper trays but the stir sticks and brushes were perfect tools for the project and cleaned up well with acetone nail polish remover.

The epoxy works great in terms of drying quickly and getting the bowl stuck together again. However, when it dries or even in general, the gold is very cheap appearing and the consistency is not what is desired for a ceramic bowl. It looks very stuck on. I had chunks of my bowl missing so I could only really fill it with the gold epoxy, and it turned out looking lumpy and weird so unfortunately, unfortunately not keeping this piece

Easy to work with but the product never dried, not sure if I got a bad batch but saw someone else on here say the same thing. Totally useless and now my mug is just covered in gold goop.

Easy to work with and set overnight unlike some reviews. Have to make sure the ratio coming out of the tubes is even. The first squirt you need to do over the trash because it doesn’t come out even. Once it starts to flow evenly the resin should set perfectly. Looks really nice and feels like a strong hold.

This was super easy to use. I was afraid it would be harder as the piece that broke off was kind of large. But I had plenty of time to work up the gold, smooth it on, and stick it in place. I know the gold work isn't perfect, but it's my first piece I've ever done. You get plenty of gold/resin to make plenty of projects, so it's decent quality for your money. Definitely an easy buy for beginners.

This is a fantastic product at a great prices

手軽に使えます。破片が細かい場合、着きにくいパーツには、はじめに接着剤だけ塗って、後で金で装飾した方が綺麗に仕上がると感じました。金継ぎの意味ないけど。初心者にはいい感じの分量での作業が、難しかった

Muy fácil de usar. Ahora me da gusto que se rompan los platos. ❤️

The kitsugi set is user-friendly and simple to apply, which is a definite plus. However, I was slightly disappointed with the level of shine it provided. Overall, a decent product, but I was hoping for a bit more brilliance.

While searching threw Amazon I looked at the kit and it seemed cheap but for that price lets some practice before the real deal. Received the package, I put it aside and a couple days ago I open it. Ok nice packaging lets follow the steps for the test of the test. Turns out it’s beautiful, doesn’t look cheap and pretty simple. Side note first time you glue when you think you hold it long enough, well.. you didn’t keep on holding and don’t squish it in submission lets the process do its thing. Cool kit thank you
