Clear Transparent Urushi Lacquer (Suki-Urushi) – Amber Topcoat & Protective Finish

Suki-Urushi (Transparent Urushi) is a highly refined natural lacquer prized for its warm amber translucency and glossy protective qualities. Ideal for sealing gold/silver metallic powders in Kintsugi, top-finishing wooden or ceramic crafts, and mixing with dry pigments to create custom lacquer shades.

Key Applications in Craft & Repair

• Kintsugi Gold & Silver Powder Sealing: Seals metallic dust in place to prevent tarnish, abrasion, and flaking without dulling the underlying shine.
• Clear Topcoat & Polishing (Togidashi): Provides a glass-like amber protective layer for wooden teaware, fountain pen bodies, and lacquer plates.
• Custom Pigment Base: Blends effortlessly with dry pigments to create transparent colored urushi shades (e.g., translucent red, green, or blue).

Technical Specifications

• Ingredients: 100% Pure Refined Natural Urushi Sap (Water-removed & filtered for maximum clarity).
• Finish Color: Warm, glowing translucent amber (Kijiro lustre).
• Curing Conditions: Requires 70%–80% RH (Relative Humidity) at 20°C–25°C (68°F–77°F) in a humid box (Furo).
• Durability: Water-resistant, heat-resistant, alcohol-proof, and non-toxic once fully cured.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is Clear Urushi (Suki-Urushi) completely colorless like synthetic epoxy?
A: No. Genuine natural transparent urushi naturally has a warm honey or amber tone due to the organic urushiol compounds. When applied in thin layers, it displays beautiful, clear translucency that lets wood grain or underlying artwork shine through.

Q: Why is Suki-Urushi used over gold powder in Kintsugi?
A: Applying a thin layer of transparent urushi over gold or silver powder seals the fine metallic particles into the substrate, making the repair scratch-resistant, durable for washing, and protected from oxidation.

Q: Is cured transparent urushi food-safe for tea cups and bowls?
A: Yes. Once completely cured in a humid environment, natural Suki-Urushi forms a non-toxic, food-grade bio-polymer surface safe for hot liquids and daily mealware.
