    Is there anyone on QBN that can read Japanese? I bought a Kintsugi Urushi Kit to glue together some broken ceramic. Now I am not sure if I am missing something important as I cannot read the instructions... I know it is toxic and I should wear gloves but does it mention to mix the urushi? any words about the hardening process? A short version is ok.

    Thanks a lot...

    Try the google translate app on your phone, you can take a photo and then highlight the Japanese text that you want it to translate. Or it has a cool live AR camera view where it overlays the english.

    Translation won't be super accurate, but it works well enough.

    sounds like it's paint, not glue

    • yes. urushi apparently is both used for painting and glueing (although I dont know if there are different types of urushi)a_aachen

    Mix it with some orange juice and drink, if your throat stays open and you go blind in only one eye, then it's paint. Instant total blindness and your tongue turns to charcoal, then it's glue and you're good to go with your ceramic repair shenanigans.

    I received a kintsugi bowl as a gift and it's one of the most amazing pieces. What a beautiful practice.

    I can read Japanese.

    That's not super glue, that's toothpaste.

    It says you should put a lot on your toothbrush when brushing for maximum clean effectiveness.

    • I could swear that's hemorrhoid cream, but if you say so, my japanese is a bit rusty...dmay
