This video shows Step 6, first layer of middle black over a partially shaped and sanded seam. The lacquer doesn’t go on that easily mainly because I am holding the bowl so it is in the camera focal area and the angle of the brush is not great.

Traditional, lacquer based kintsugi, August 5th., 2019 Live kintsugi
This is a live stream kingsugi done on Facebook which I have uploaded here. I start with doing the initial hardening of #10 silver and then some initial clean up of a fit together piece. The last 5 minutes or so is putting a piece back together with glass lacquer.

Traditional, lacquer based kintsugi, building a holder for repair.
I am repairing this French footed faience bowl with a very difficult break, right around the place where the curve up from the flat part of the plate starts. I made a base of cardboard with wooden supports and then a plastic ring, cut down from a piece of plastic the same diameter, to support the pieces as I put them in. The footed bowl fits into the cardboard base which is what some of the photos show.
