Frequently asked questions

Kinari FAQ

Short answers for the most common questions about first repairs, kit fit, and what the finish is like to live with.

Do I need any experience?

No. Kinari is designed to feel like a first encounter with kintsugi, with step-by-step guidance and a slower, kitchen-table pace rather than workshop fluency.

What kinds of pieces does it work best on?

Ceramic and stoneware are the most natural fit: cups, bowls, plates, and teapots with chips, clean cracks, or small missing edges.

What does the finished repair look like?

The point is a visible gold-toned seam. Kinari treats the repaired line as part of the object's story, not something to disguise.

Why do people choose Kinari?

Usually to keep a beloved bowl, mug, or plate in the story of daily life rather than throwing it away after one break.
