These bamboo flat tip tweezers are thoughtfully designed for gilders, providing optimum control when handling and maneuvering metal leaf.
In kintsugi, urushi is a crucial component, but it can trigger skin allergies. Thus, the use of gloves is recommended. However, gloves can sometimes hinder dexterity, prompting the need for these flat tip tweezers. They serve as an excellent aid in stabilizing small ceramic pieces during delicate repairs.
Specifications:
Size: 20cm, 27cm (for metal leaf applications, the larger size bamboo tweezers are more suitable for picking up metal leaf. See alternative listing) Material: Bamboo (anti-static)
Our Suggestion:
For metal leaf applications, as metal leaf adheres to water and oil, we highly recommend applying baby powder before use. Additionally, you have the option to trim the tip to enhance ease of use according to your preference.
If you're pursuing Kintsugi, it's important to avoid using your regular household tweezers due to the contaminative nature of urushi.
