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.
This video shows final polishing of black. After this is gold. There is also a nyu, a fine crack, which I applied lacquer to and sanded off.

This video shows manipulating sabi. I applied this sabi made with lacquer and tonoko yesterday. Usually I use jinoko to make sabi and wanted to try tonoko. It looks like I got a bad mixture of lacquer to tonoko as it is still very wet.

This video shows applying sabi. I cut the sabi that was in place way back since it was so hard from sitting around so long. Super hard sabi is difficult to shape.

This video shows the last polishing of silver #3 on 2 pieces I am finishing for someone who did the substrate lacquer. There is a breakthrough on the first one and second one, probably caused by the application of the red. Short of completely sanding everything off and reapplying the metal there is no way to fix it.

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.

This video shows step 6, application of middle black lacquer in preparation for metal. I use a middle thickness brush and apply it as thinly as possible. If it seems too thin then that is about right.
