I used this product to repair a church's ceramic communion chalice that broke into 4 large (and several small) pieces after falling from a bookshelf. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Enough materials were included for 3 or 4 projects of this size. (No, I didn't break the matching patten just so I could repair it. Considered doingso, but didn't!) The repaired chalice looks wonderful and now has an additional story to tell.

This is a very disappointing product and I am annoyed that it is too late to get a refund. Proper kintsugi is done with metallic powder. This product supplies a gold paint that doesn't have sufficient pigment in it to create a gold glue. It results in a tan color that is truly ugly. If you tried to use enough gold paint to nmake it gold then there wouldn't be enough epoxy to harden. It's a piece of junk product, dont bother buying it, a waste of money.

The "customers say" blurb is an outright lie. The steps are simple but not specific enough to work for everyone. One instruction is to "add an appropriate amount of gold powder pigment." I tried three times twice with varying amounts of the pigment and once with just the epoxy and it didn't cure any of the three times. It's a basic double plunger so measuring wasn't an issue. It seems to have worked for most of these reviews, so I'm giving the benefit of the doubt. I ended up just using a different plain epoxy and I'll do a layer of epoxy with the gold pigment over the top to fill in the missing chunks. a little disappointed, but that's life.

The kintsugu kit is so easy to use and intuitive. Simply mix the epoxy with the pigment (to your liking) and then paint it on the cracks. You can then just put it together like you would super glue something. It cures in 24 hours. Click my profile for a full walkthrough.If you're doing a spherical item like I did and it's in a lot of pieces, just make less of the epoxy mixture then piece it together over a couple of days. Otherwise you can do it all in one sitting.

While it's a great starter kit the instructions are incomplete it need to be sealed with a UV lamp otherwise it takes forever to dry I left my first piece to dry for WEEKS and it never did until I put it on the lamp
