Repair Kintsugi/Gintsugi for broken fingers?

Jan 9, 2022

    1. Hi all. I finally repaired my MNF Karsh's fingers but I think you can still see the break lines. I wonder if I could add something gold/bronze/silver looking to help hide the breaks and make it look more like rings? What would I need to do to prep the hands?

    2. Honestly, all you really would have to do is simply seal with MSC or the like, and then use a metallic paint in the color you would like. I think it would look really good, honestly, and is a great idea~

    4. Seconding what Tasia said.
      It's just like doing a regular paint job. Seal, paint, seal again.

      I did a Kintsugi inspired faceup, but on a piece that was actually broken I am sure the effect will look even nicer :3nodding:

    5. Well, looks like I need to buy some MSC! What is considered to be a good type of weather to seal in? Right now it is winter where I live so we've had rain, snow, or plain old cold sunny days. Is there a best season?

    6. Mild temperatures and low humidity is your best bet.
