This video shows step 4, third hardening of gold on Karatsu tea bowl.. I applied the first hardening lacquer on Oct. 2, the second on Oct. 3, and now this hardening on Oct. 6th. I think it will take at least 1 more hardening before it is ready to polish. To see step 4 see https://zac.wnz.mybluehost.me/website_a640e8d6/?page_id=225

This video shows step 2, first application of hardening lacquer to #4 gold to a Karatsu tea bowl. I left the bowl in a muro for about 1 week to allow the red lacquer/gold to dry. After thinning the lacquer with turpentine I apply it and then take the excess off with tissue.
