Sealing urushi, thin kiurushi used.



This teapot arrived already fixed but leaking.
 





I sealed with diluted urushi with turpentine leaving for a day but it still leaked a lot, so in this case I needed to use putty to fill the cracks inside and out as necessary until all leaks stopped.

​Then I sealed with urushi again.
I removed excess urushi carefully with a craft knife.

Silver leaf powder finish with sealing urushi, thin Isehaya used.





​​Finally after a couple more layers of  pigmented urushi I applied silver followed by fine quality urushi and then polished.
 
Here I used black urushi for the base coats. For the final visible coat I chose fine quality urushi called Isehaya Urushi.
