Traditional, lacquer based kintsugi, step 5, polishing #3 gold
This video shows polishing rounded, graded, #3 gold, step 5. #3 gold can also be polished with a polishing tool but I have found the other, more labor intensive process gives a far better and even finish. In the video I start for the first minute with a #2000 mesh stone but quickly switch to a #3000 mesh since #3 gold is so fine. There are about 8 more steps after this initial polishing. In the video it looks like I am not doing much but by the end of the 8 additional steps it will be a nicely polished seam of gold.

Traditional, lacquer based kintsugi,, breaking secondary break on blue bowl
I am getting this bowl ready to put back together and first have to complete a partial break. It makes for a stronger repair to complete a partial break rather than try to secure it with lacquer. Lacquer will hold it back together for a while but the crack will eventually spread.
