You know that beautiful Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics. Thanks to me. Do you Yamashita? I now have the

Varnish I needed an actual lacquer or something

It's more like a figure to create that perfect modern

Sheets on that traditional technique and that is hopefully gonna help me a lot

If I want to fix my beloved

Japanese boat, of course before I can do that. I need to perform loads of gluing bonding tests, and that's why I've got myself

load of second-hand slash damage slash chipped mugs bowls

Let's do this

Three tests in mind go from super simple all the way to a tad more

Complicated but I couldn't wrap my head around

Making my own brand new cups. It doesn't fit with the whole philosophy of kintsugi

Those are all you know slightly damaged or bit chipped

Pieces which is fine cuz I'm gonna fix them

Anyway, when I bought it was only slightly chipped, but because of my very safe and steady bike ride

Things are a bit more useful for the kintsugi technic. Probably I

Know this is for greater good, but still it's gonna be painful to work for science

In this case a cup is very unlikely to be taken now

Okay, test number one the sharpie and some Krazy Glue

So when facing a new obstacle a new problem, I usually go for the most simple obvious solution itself

even if it sounds a bit simplistic sometimes exact same situation what I'm looking for a parking spot, I

Go straight to the the first operation has to be some sanding action

Those cans says so there seems to be a bound

What's going super well there might be an interaction between the

Sharpie ink and the superglue which I left open. What a nice way to start

Okay test number two, I'm gonna be using sugu if you're not familiar with this is like a firm playdough kind of glue

I've been using it quite a few times to fix things around the studio, but I never thought about fixing you know

Sarah me until I saw some pretty lovely fixing over on Pinterest. You know that beautiful thing. I'm gonna try to do that

Yeah, I know it looks like a mess at the moment but trust me it's always the case when you're making something

Okay, since we got a bit of time while it's drying

I just want to give you a little

Kintsugi fact that Japanese technique is usually regarded as being part of a, you know, wider world view called wabi-sabi

within this perspective on life in general things not only are beautiful because they're symmetric or just

Perfect or permanent but more because they are impermanent

imperfect and incomplete

Okay, so to fully cure Subaru needs 24 hours, but we can remove the excess way before that

That might not even be a need for

Test number three just want to check something super quick from my personal peace of mind. Okay, so guru

food

Must be okay. I mean it's silicone based

Silicone is food safe. It must be good

That's a shame guys I love the red light, okay

I'm gonna kick things up a notch. And in this test, I'm gonna be using epoxy glue. Right and since this is liquid

I'm also gonna add some gold color a quick disclaimer about epoxy. I'm not gonna replicate the same mistake twice

This is food safe epoxy

I can share a link in the description box down below and even this is a food coloring

So things should hopefully be fine

This a few rules should be respected in order for things to go in the right direction like not to be a spitter

That's what I mean one working ventilated area where gloves?

I'm afraid I'm currently facing a difficulty this reason that I'm using it's too runny this time, so

So, I think it's at the core of its composition since there is no additives there is no

You know catalyzer other than be hard on it. So it's almost impossible to you know, keep two pieces together

While they're curing. Well, I know what I could do

I could be using this super not food safe a five minute epoxy which is super convenient

It holds the pieces together while it's curing it's just personally I wish I could use that

But instead I'm gonna find another idea for this

I'm fed up with the test. It's probably time to grow a time to get the ball out and fix it for good

So many pieces I guess that's what I live for, okay, so three two one

If I drop it I'm gonna kill myself 100 percent

Sookie this tutorial might be one of the very few on the Internet which makes it food safe at the end

It might be the only one pardon my french

Is it a cocky comment? Yes my French guy cooking

Yes

Guy cooking. I'm the French guy cooking

Right. So in order for you to replicate that process at home

Here's the whole thing

broken down ballot by ballot first you need to perform what is called a dry fit just to understand how the pieces

Work together then you need to send the profile of the section. Then you need to mix the epoxy glue

Respecting the exact proportions technically you would then use that vision straight away. But that's where I

Defer from from from the rules again instead. I wait

for the glue to be stickier and

figure take the pieces together don't start with like like a hundred pieces if you're actually

Missing a piece on your repair then you can replace it with a mix of wheat flour plus epoxy glue

Then you'll have to wait for about eight hours there using a blade you want to trim up to remove the excess

glue on those lines

Next you want to brush those line with a very thin

Paintbrush, but this time you don't have to wait for the glue to dry

in fact

It's better to use it when it's really run and that's when you want to sprinkle a lavish amount of gold powder

It will stick to those lines and then you will wipe out the excess

When in my defense I said I was gonna create a nice cheats on it

I didn't say I was just gonna break the rule of the universe and also you gotta take into account that the

Traditional method takes three months. This is like

Probably a day or two of work. It's just

piece of cake from a Japanese point of view

So just so you know

I made another piece really thin porcelain of China if I say French China bit confusing copy

I will ship that directly to mizu you Yamashita's studio. Not exactly for her to appreciate my

Interview skills. I know it's just a way of saying thank you. So guys, that's it
