Kintsugi materials, hemp fabric
Hemp fabric can be used to strengthen large fill areas. It is embedded into the sabi mix and care must be taken so it is completely covered by sabi and the threads don’t stick out. It is best to use it in areas with some thickness as well as width. Not enough thickness will result in fibers being exposed which can’t be resolved easily without leaving a bump where the fill material will have to be used.
