To repair shattered pottery using kintsugi techniques, one must first clean the pieces and smooth sharp edges. Gluing them together with mugi urushi glue made of cake flour and water, mixed with raw urushi, the broken pieces are held together with masking tape. The glued objects are then left in a warm, humid environment for around 2 weeks to allow the glue to harden. Gloves are recommended, as urushi resin contains urushiol, the same compound found in poison ivy. The process requires patience, precision, and careful planning to ensure a successful repair, avoiding pitfalls like misalignments and contamination.
