Traditional, lacquer based kintsugi, Imari plate, 52 cm, step 6

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.
