This is a no brainer when it comes to making your pottery beautiful!

Loved it

Very strong smell. And not for beginners. But does the job

Using this product is nothing like I imagined it would be, just mixing the gold into the glue seems kind of like cheating on a culture test. I figured we’d be somewhat sloppy with our glue getting the pieces put together, then go over the work with gold flake or paint. It gets you to the gold faster, I suppose… I just wish it was more traditional. Oh well, it still made it pretty in the end, so 🤷🏻‍♀️Oh yeah, mixing and remixing and remixing 😮‍💨

We have a broken lampshade that my grandmother, a renowned China painter, painted over 50 years ago. It is a large shade but as you can see by the size of the 2 part epoxy here (which is the strongest glue to hold something together), there is easily enough of it for this project, and probably more projects.The fine grain of the gold is excellent, easy to mix into the epoxy resin and makes it look like real gold. I am impressed that 2 containers of the gold are included.I would only suggest to people that they mix just a bit of the epoxy resin at a time because this is 5 minute drying epoxy. That’s quick drying! And measure how much (or eyeball it) gold you put in an amount of epoxy because if there is a big difference in how much gold you put in the mixture, it is noticeable I know from experience. I work a lot with 2 part epoxy.I really like this Kintsugi kit because it just has what you need to fix a broken heirloom at a fair price. I don’t need items to fix that Kintsugi kits often include and then they charge more for the kits. I have broken treasures to fix already. Hope this information helps you decide if this is the kit for you.

Not sticking at all terrible

I was hoping this would be the solution to a broken glass bowl. However, it does not adhere well to certain finishes.Plus, it begins to cure as soon as it’s out in the air. So if you’re not used to working with poly, or you’re a beginner (like me) the product will get tacky and hard before you’re done adhering two parts together.Plus, the products it comes with are cheaper and the gold dust that you add to the glue does not have a product description.So is there lead in the gold powder? I don’t know. But it would be nice to know so that we can take the proper precautions while working with it.I blame myself for trying a cheaper solution.

I used this to repair a few broken onyx carvings and a couple of broken crystals and it worked well. The epoxy cures very fast and I needed to mix up several small batches as I worked. This plus some epoxy clay for replacing a missing ear and a gilding kit made for some really nice results on one of the carvings that needed more than just the kintsugi to put it back together.
