Tools

Here ‘s a peek at the essential tools I use to do my kintsugi repair.

Open my kingtsugi tool box, and you will find these...

urushi — the soul of kintsugi. natural, ancient, and full of character.

brushes — for applying urushi with care and precision.

spatulas — simple tools to smooth, shape, and guide.

sandpaper — slow polishing reveals the form again.

gold powder — the final touch that makes broken beautiful. (ALternatively, I use other metallic powders.)
