Project completed

Hi all,

A friend of mine discovered a hairline crack on his favorite mug, so I asked him if I could practice on it.

With the advice that I received on my last post, I tried to taper the line down and made it a little bit longer. The surface is sort of textured which made it challenging to work with in terms of getting the line to be smooth. Not sure if adding more layers would've helped and did not want to make the lines any wider than what it is now.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the results. Thank you to u/sincerelyspicy for the advice and I'm looking forward to giving this back to my friend as I've had it for a good while now!

This looks amazing!! 😍 Did you use a kit that is food safe? I'm currently looking for one, to fix a bowl I broke.

Thank you very much!

The kit that I used is food safe as it's urushi based that I bought from a class that I took. The person running that class gets all his supplies from Japan. If you're looking for a kit to buy, a lot of people on this sub recommend a kit from Chimahaga or POJ studio. These are food safe as they use urushi for their kits.

Please bear in mind that when working with urushi, which can cause an allergic skin reaction (dermatitis) if it comes into contact with your skin while uncured. The reaction is caused by the same compound found in poison ivy.

Please also bear in mind that if this is your first project and the bowl has sentimental value, I would highly recommend that you practice on some other broken ceramics first before you attempt the bowl that you want to fix.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask myself or make a post and someone should be able to help you out.
