Kintsugi Repair Kits

Every Kintsugi Repair Kit at WoodArtSupply comes with everything you need to repair and beautify broken ceramics: your choice of adhesive (epoxy or traditional urushi lacquer), real metal powders (gold, silver, or platinum for that signature ‘golden joinery’ look), brushes, mixing and shaping tools, safety gloves, and illustrated step-by-step instructions. Most people don't need any extra supplies, but you’ll want to have a clean, well-lit workspace and, depending on your project, access to running water and some paper towels for cleanup. We provide different kit sizes and matching skill levels, so you can choose just what fits your needs!

Great question! Start by considering what you want to repair: If it’s your first time or a simple repair, go for a Beginner Kintsugi Kit with epoxy—it’s easy and forgiving. If you’re more experienced or want a traditional look, try an Advanced Kit with urushi lacquer. Also, think about the finish: gold is classic, but silver and platinum options create unique effects. Each kit’s description explains the recommended skill level, size (number of items it can repair), and drying times. If you’re ever unsure, just reach out and we’ll help match a kit to your project.

Yes, our Kintsugi Repair Kits are designed for safe home use! We include gloves, masks (with urushi kits), and detailed safety tips in every box. Epoxy dries quickly and is generally low-odor, while urushi lacquer needs more ventilation and careful handling due to its natural resin. Always work in a well-ventilated area, avoid direct skin contact, and keep kits away from pets and kids during the process. With a little care and attention, you’ll have a safe, enjoyable Kintsugi experience.

We know you want to use your favorite mug or plate again! After repair, items fixed with epoxy-based kits are decorative and not recommended for direct contact with food or drink, or for use in the microwave or dishwasher. Traditional urushi lacquer repairs, once fully cured, are food-safe, but we still suggest gentle hand washing instead of dishwashers to preserve the golden joinery. Handle your repaired piece with care and enjoy its unique story—it’s perfect for display or gentle use!

To keep your Kintsugi creation looking its best, always hand wash gently with mild soap and a soft cloth—no scrubbing! Avoid high heat, soaking for a long time, and harsh chemicals. Store your piece where it won’t be knocked or dropped, especially if it’s sentimental or delicate. Over time, the golden (or silver, or platinum) seams will retain their shine and help tell your object’s new story. If you ever have questions about aftercare, our team is happy to help!
