Description
Put a little wabi-sabi in your life with the TotalBoat Kintsugi Kit! In Japanese culture, wabi-sabi is all about embracing the beauty in imperfection, and the ancient art of Kintsugi celebrates this optimistic view. It involves repairing broken things with powdered gold, and is most commonly used to repair broken pottery, art figures, and other objects. So instead of throwing out that broken family heirloom or prized piece of pottery, turn it into something so stunning in beauty and simplicity you’ll cherish it even more. This easy-to-use DIY kit includes TotalBoat Thixo Fast Cure (our fast-curing 2:1 thickened epoxy adhesive), mixing nozzles for dispensing epoxy, epoxy-safe powder pigments, mixing tools, and detailed instructions. Perfect for repairing ceramics, pottery, vases, glass objects, porcelain, and tiles, the Kintsugi Kit makes it easy to bring out the beauty in all your broken things!
