Traditional, lacquer based kintsugi, applying gold over glass lacquer to breaks in glass

This video shows applying gold over glass lacquer to the break-face of a large, fishing-net globe. The edges of the glass are razor sharp which is why I am being so careful with handling it. It isn’t possible to drop gold onto the surface since it is so narrow. I will let the pieces dry for about a week and then do the same to the main, large part of the fishing-net globe.

Traditional, lacquer based kintsugi, applying glass lacquer to breaks in glass

This video shows applying glass lacquer to the break-face of a large, fishing-net globe. The reason for applying lacquer to the break-face  is so I can then apply gold.  When clear, non opaque glass is reassembled with mugiurushi you can, unlike ceramic, see the break-face. If you don’t apply gold to it you will see a black line.
