Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for the glue to set?

It takes only takes a few minutes for the glue to harden to a point where the ceramic can be safely stood up or hung; however, it takes up to 72 hours for the epoxy to cure fully so we recommend taking extra care with the repaired ceramic during this period

Is the glue safe to use multiple times?

Yes, use the twist cap at the base of the product to seal for re-use. We recommend using the plastic bag provided to store the glue to minimize the smell and protect against potential minor leaks

How many repairs can one kit handle?

The kit can easily handle more than 10 small projects. If you're finding that you're running out of materials quickly, please let us know via DM on Instagram or send us a quick email at mendedwithgold.van@gmail.com and we'll do our best to help.

What materials can the kit work on?

Meant primarily for ceramics but will work just fine on porcelain, glass, wood, hard plastics, jewelry, etc.

Is the product food-safe?

Resistant to melting up to 100 deg C. We advise against using in dishwasher, oven, microwave and do not advise pouring in hot drinks directly. The glue is not food safe or FDA approved. For more information, please see our Sustainability page.

Do you have any other colours available?

Not at the moment. We only offer gold because that is only colour used in the traditional art of Kintsugi. If you would be interested in having a greater selection of colours to choose from to mend your broken ceramics, please let us know via DM on Instagram or by email at: mendedwithgold.van@gmail.com
