Notes
One or more products in the kit may be out of stock, in which case they will be replaced by equivalent supplies.
*During your initiation, it's best to practice with a less expensive material than gold, such as golden brass powder (similar color). Once you've mastered the technique, you can introduce silver and gold powder.
Kiurushi lacquer can cause allergic skin reactions. Urushiol is the active ingredient that can sometimes be responsible for different skin reactions when coming into contact with the skin.
Warning :
When handling kiurushi liquid lacquer, you must wear gloves, a protective mask and long-sleeved clothing to cover your arms.
After each skin contact with Urushi Lacquer you should immediately wipe the affected part of the skin with edible oil such as rapeseed or sunflower oil. After contact with eyes rinse with plenty of water and consult a doctor quickly.
Work surface :
After each use clean your work surface with organic solvents such as alcohol or acetone. Your work space should be well ventilated and ventilated.
Material :
Your brushes should be cleaned with turpentine then coated with edible oil. If you don't have a protective box for your brushes, wrap them in transparent film to protect them from dust.
