Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I cure natural Urushi lacquer properly?
A: Natural urushi cures best in a humid, warm environment (Furo). Maintain a relative humidity of 70%–80% and a temperature of 20°C–25°C (68°F–77°F) for optimal drying and hardening.

Q: What is the difference between Ki-Urushi and Red/Black Urushi in Kintsugi?
A: Ki-Urushi (raw urushi) has maximum penetration and bonding strength, making it ideal for gluing broken pieces. Red and Black Urushi are refined colored lacquers used for mid-layers and topcoats before dust-gilding with gold or silver.
