while not the "traditional" method, I think that the people complaining about this are actually missing the point. Kintsugi is, at heart, the art of joining together a broken piece and giving it new beauty. just because you didn't use the traditional materials doesn't mean that this doesn't follow that philosophy.

I'm Japanese but I'm not mad at being not traditional. I'm so happy that you know kintsugi and thought it was beautiful. Thank you for amazing video!!

Thank you so much for this! I accidentally broke a plate that my father in law used during wartime, and I was broken-hearted and felt so awful. I am so excited to try this! Thank you again so much for this tutorial!!!!

Your end result is gorgeous!!

*throws dishes at a wall* it's art time

I must say this is the most beautiful modern day version of kintsugi I have seen in my binge-watching hour of kintsugi tutorials. I think you very appropriately choose the black epoxy in order to make that gold POP! Thank you for this tutorial!!

OMG. I love you even more. I'm a ceramics major. I wish I could gift you a million things now.

This is actually so helpful! My friend broke a cup I got while on vacation from my stepmom and she was so upset! I told her I could fix it up even though I didn't know how haha I'm sure it will look gorgeous with this gold

For the first time in two and a half years I'm not sad that one of my favorite bowls has a big crack and is missing a piece. Thank you.

If you use non-toxic epoxy, and genuine gold powder (which is able to be metabolized in the human alimentary system) then it can be food safe.

It's even more beautiful than when it was whole. I love Kintsugi!

[MaceySnow]

Thanks for this video. I recently broke a favorite piece of pottery and wondered if it would be worth repairing. A friend suggested Kintsugi, and it seems like a perfect solution. I liked your technique, and the end results a lot better than what I've seen from the expensive kits you mentioned. I'm going to give it a try soon!

My cat JUST broke a vase I made from my ceramic shop that is now forever shutdown. It has gold in the case and I will def use your technique!! I love the Japanese art forms wabi sabi to kintsugi and I also paint watercolor and ink. TY for your creativity!!

I've watched videos and read web pages on Kintsugi now, possibly a dozen all together, and this is the most helpful of the bunch. Congratulations on a very nice tutorial!

As far as the kvetching comments about this not being authentic Kintsugi, come on guys, grow up!

You’re so creative!! Like making your own brush?! That was so resourceful and genius!

[rockfieldlangley]

Impressed with the brush! They look great! My wife and I have a collection of broken china and pottery. We are going to try this this weekend!

Awesome! I just did a repair to a broken mug using some gold glitter craft puffy paint bc that’s what I had on hand - now I can use the cup as a succulent planter! Like yours, it wasn’t the traditional repair, but the idea behind it is the same - non-attachment to perfection! Love your video, subbed!

[raypelling]

Awesome video! Tha ks so much for showing us this method!
JB Weld is GREAT! I use it for all kinds of things, and it's very strong.
Just FYI everyone in YouTube land, I tried to JB weld a magnet, once and the epoxy MOVED. YES, JB Weld is magnetic. SO, don't even think of using a vessel with JB Weld not on the microwave, as it will throw sparks. Ditto for the not using for food or beverages as the OP mentioned. There are food safe epoxies out there, but food safe paint might be a different thing...and not sure I want to microwave any kind of epoxy or use it for food.
Again, thanks for a great video!!

this is so beautiful! thanks for making this i just broke a gorgeous lidded pot i keep on my dressing table and i am definitely going to try this method, i have all the stuff already apart from the gold paint.

[EyeoftheWhiteWolf]

I just did this today because one of my cats broke a planter I really like. It didn't turn out as good as yours, but it's still pretty! :) Thanks for this video, I've never heard of this before!

[suzytamimi]

I’ve been watching several videos on kintsugi and this was the most comprehensive and creative way of doing it in an easy to follow way & looks amazing. I know it’s not traditional but honestly I don’t have that kind of time to dedicate on one piece. Thank you so much. !! Is there a product link to the resin and some of the other items? ❤
