Traditional, lacquer based kintsugi, more step 5b, polishing gold with aburatokoko.

Traditional, lacquer based kintsugi, this video shows more polishing in step 5b, polishing #3 gold with aburatonoko. Abura(oil)tonoko(natural polishing powder) is made by adding oil, I use cooking oil, to tonoko to make a sticky mix.  Take that and apply it with your finger or tissue, rubbing as hard as you can.  Finish by using tissue to remove the excess.

I will do subsequent steps in following videos.
