This video shows applying sabi to a very narrow, masked off scar. The pieces of paper on the bottom and top of the vase are so that the masked area won’t contact any surfaces when I place the piece in the muro.

This video shows mixing and applying thinned lacquer to a very narrow, masked off scar. I mixed good turpentine into lacquer with a palette knife and then applied it with a brush. I have the area masked so when I get to the later stages my cleanup is less and to lower the chance of scratching the surface.

This is a Bizen fired vase from about the year 1600. It has a crack which doesn’t go all the way through, the vase doesn’t leak. Instead of completing the break which is usually my first choice I am going to fill it in with sabi. First I have slightly widened the crack with a diamond file and then masked the crack with tape. Next I will apply lacquer that has been thinned with oil of turpentine so the lacquer will flow into the deepest parts of the crack.
