This video shows the initial steps of repairing a chip on the edge of a small cup. I first tape the area from the outside with a masking tape, mix rice with basic lacquer, and then apply that mixture to the chipped area.

Here is a series of photos of bowls I am repairing. The problem is the glaze blistered in the wood firing.
The photo above shows the first application of jinoko and lacquer in order to help build a smoother surface.
The photo above shows the bowl with jinoko and lacquer after the blistered glaze has been sanded off.
The photo above shows jinoko and lacquer mix on the bowl.
The photo above shows one of the bowls before I did anything to it.
In order to get a defined line to sand you can draw a line that marks your outer edge of the sanding surface.
After this marking and before applying the jinoko and lacquer you need to sand the blisters down to make a smooth surface. It doesn’t have to be completly smooth as lacquer adheres better to a dimpled surface.

This is another project I am doing. It is a wood fired bowl that has blistered glaze on the side that was facing the flame flow. I have the blistered areas partially filled with lacquer and sanded. The next step will be another application of glaze to even out the uneven surface.
