These tools work for polishing fine powder metals and some of the finer graded metals. They are best for thin line polishing. If you try to polish wide areas it is more difficult to get a good, smooth finish.


Charcoal can be used in kintsugi as a cleaning agent in either hard or powder form. You use it to clean the surface of the piece after the initial clean up, you use it with water. The charcoal must be hard wood, oak or something similar.
