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
