I use only traditional kintsugi techniques (no epoxy and mica powder); natural urushi lacquers are cured in a muro box and 24k gold for food vessels, both of which are food safe. I also use genuine silver, copper and brass (as well as gold) for repairs not being used for food or drink. All vessels in my shop (matcha bowl, tea cup/pot, Ikebana/vase, mugs, tumblers etc.) have been tested for water fastness.
