This video shows step 6, adding lacquer to sabi in order to harden it and make it easier to work.
I didn’t do the original repair on this plate and don’t know how long ago it was done. I have cleaned the sabi up and want to reapply more so before doing so I am applying lacquer to both make it harder and help in adhesion for the new layer I will apply. My studio is cold and low humidity so the lacquer is thick and doesn’t apply well in the video.
Here are some photos of a plate I am thinking about doing. It is a large charger, 52 cm diameter, with a 3 piece break which has been partially repaired. The repair is full of glaze spalls and very small fill lines.
