This video shows Step 6, first layer of middle black over a partially shaped and sanded seam. The lacquer doesn’t go on that easily mainly because I am holding the bowl so it is in the camera focal area and the angle of the brush is not great. See https://www.kintugi.com/?page_id=80

Traditional, lacquer based kintsugi, building a holder for repair.
I am repairing this French footed faience bowl with a very difficult break, right around the place where the curve up from the flat part of the plate starts. I made a base of cardboard with wooden supports and then a plastic ring, cut down from a piece of plastic the same diameter, to support the pieces as I put them in. The footed bowl fits into the cardboard base which is what some of the photos show.
