Does anyone have a recommendation for a "how to" instructional on this? Sometime ago one of my SOs grandmothers bowls broke and since then I thought about trying this.
Reading the article I apparently had the wrong impression on how this is done. They talk about lacquer mixed with gold dust ... I somehow got the impression that they use gold and capillary suction to get the gold to flow into the fracture.
There are a lot of kits out there but you have to be careful. I didn't really read up much on this and bought a kit and I think it was your basic epoxy with gold dust mixed in. In my case and the tiny letters confirm it, it meant the finished product is not really food safe and it's also not heat safe.
To display the bowls it works quite well... but that's about it.
But there are a lot of kits out there, and I still have some other items I might give another go with a better kit.
