The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 106 Is Mr. Shen an expert? I can’t tell! (Subscribe)

After hearing his words, the lady boss also showed a sincere smile on her face. She walked a few steps closer, sat down opposite Shen Le, and lowered her voice:
"I'm glad you don't mind disturbing me. The thing is, Ge Jin is probably only going to die in the next two days..."

"It doesn't matter. She can come over whenever she needs her." Shen Le agreed immediately.
"Well... maybe call half a day in advance?"

At least give him time to pack his things!

After enjoying the powerful refreshing fruit, Shen Le returned to the mansion and continued to work. This time, he was driving rivets into the rivet holes:

First, use a hammer to hit the copper wire and flatten it into a flat piece. Then use pliers to cut the copper wire into pieces.

In this way, the rivet will naturally form a diamond shape of 8 mm long and 1 mm wide with pointed ends. Then measure the depth of the rivet hole and bend the two legs of the rivet with tweezers.

The bowl wall is less than 3 mm thick, and the depth of the rivet hole is only two mm at most!

After bending, use a file to file the rivet foot, and then grind it on a grindstone to make the side of the rivet smooth so that it fits the rivet hole on the porcelain bowl better...

Just these steps made Shen Le sweat. However, after finishing these, it was time to get to the key step of mending the porcelain:
Use tweezers and your hands to carefully insert the nail feet on both sides into the rivet holes;

Finally, use a small hammer to hammer the rivets into the rivet holes, pounding them firmly and flattening them...

"Snapped!"

The porcelain bowl broke, broke, broke...

Shen Le stared at the hammer in his hand in amazement. I tried to be as light as possible! I used a rubber hammer!
How can it still be broken?
I saw in the video that other people used hammers and they didn't crack the porcelain bowls!!!

Well, let's start over...

Changing positions, changing tiles, or even changing bowls. Shen Le relied on his wealth and leisure to try again and again, and finally passed the level.

Seeing the porcelain bowl he was using for training standing upright in front of him, with eight rivets evenly arranged on both sides, Shen Leshu took a deep breath and turned to the second one:
Plan No. 2, let’s get started!
Unlike Plan No. 1 which uses all-natural materials, for Plan No. 2, Shen Le uses the traditional method of repairing porcelain in the cultural relics restoration industry, the bonding method.

Weigh the epoxy resin glue, component A and component B according to the proportion, pour them into the container and stir carefully.

Epoxy resin is soluble in alcohol. Whenever you think you have made a mistake, or found new pieces, or have a new and better adhesive, just soak the thing in alcohol. It will be clean in no time!

There is a small overlap between ancient building restoration and porcelain restoration. For example, Shen Le had done the glue mixing work many times during his postgraduate studies, and he was very familiar with it, and it basically formed muscle memory.

He could adjust it with his eyes closed, the speed was neither too fast nor too slow, the force was neither too light nor too heavy. I still remember the first time he stirred this thing, all kinds of weird things happened:

"Brother! Why can't I mix this stuff evenly? The colors are all different!"

"Keep stirring! Stir hard! How can you expect to have an electric mixer in the middle of nowhere?!"

"Brother! I've mixed it!"

"Remix it, re-stir it... There are too many impurities in your glue, it will affect the bonding effect, it can't be used at all!"

"Brother! Is there finally any problem this time?"

"You have to start over again... Do you see the bubbles inside? You stirred too fast and with too much force. There are too many bubbles inside, which will affect the bonding effect!"

Recalling the past when he was in a life-and-death struggle under his senior brother, Shen Le couldn't help but smile.

He gently turned the stirring rod until the epoxy resin was stirred into a colorless, transparent, viscous colloid, then stopped and took out the paint to add in:

A small amount of porcelain powder, a small amount of titanium dioxide. Add a little, stir twice, add a little more, stir again.

Stir it twice, pick up the body of the porcelain bowl and compare it, then add paint...

It is better to have less than more. If there is less, you can add more. If there is more, you will have to stir the epoxy resin again!

Shen Le slowly mixed the resin into a color close to the body of the porcelain bowl, applied it to the sawn part of the porcelain bowl, and carefully put the two halves of the porcelain bowl together. Then, he tied it tightly with a thin rope and put it aside:
It takes 24 hours for epoxy resin to cure. This time is just right for fixing the porcelain, so as to control the variables to the minimum!
Two hours later, Shen Le sat at the table, with a porcelain bowl on the left and a porcelain bowl on the right. He opened his spiritual eyes and observed carefully:
“Hmm… the auras on both sides of the porcelain bowl glued together with epoxy resin don’t seem to blend well together.

The porcelain bowl fixed with rivets has a good aura fusion, but drilling holes and nailing rivets will cause considerable damage to the porcelain bowl itself..."

All in all, each has its pros and cons. It would be great if there was a way to combine the best of both worlds!

Shen Le could not come up with this method by his own imagination. Fortunately, the wisdom of our ancestors is infinite. Shen Le searched the information frantically and finally found a method for him:
Kintsugi.

Well, to put it simply, it is to use lacquer, also known as raw lacquer, to make an adhesive to glue the porcelain/pottery pieces together.

Because the color of the lacquer is not very beautiful, for the sake of beauty, after gluing, use gold powder to mix the base, apply another circle along the glued part, and then grind and polish...

"Should I buy more gold powder? It's so expensive..."

Shen Le sighed helplessly. That's gold powder, gold powder!
The price follows the market, and they dare to sell gold at any price! Recently, how much has the international gold price risen to per ounce?
Fortunately, Shen Le carefully checked some information and finally saved his wallet. It doesn't matter if you don't use gold powder, you can use other pigments and mix them with an imitation glaze base to apply! Start working!
The adhesive used for Kintsugi is lacquer, which is readily available at home. On the contrary, another more common material is not available at home:
flour……

Shen Le had no choice but to go out to buy it. A quarter of an hour later, he stood in the supermarket, in front of the dazzling array of goods on the shelves, and was in a dilemma:
"High-gluten flour, medium-gluten flour, low-gluten flour, enriched flour, super-fine flour, flour for bread, flour for buns...

Can anyone tell me what kind of flour is used to make the raw material for Kintsugi and mix it with lacquer as an adhesive? ! "

The videos he watched and the information he looked up even mentioned the paint putty used to mix the paint and even the brand of plastic wrap used to wrap the adhesive, but it didn't mention anything here!!!
Shen Le really had no idea what to do. He picked it up and put it down, put it down and picked it up again. Finally, he stood there with his phone and started to check...

"Will you buy it? If not, please let me go."

His elbow was hit forcefully but not too roughly, pushing Shen Le to the side and causing him to almost stumble half a step.

Shen Le came back to his senses and saw a middle-aged man next to him with a tired face, looking at him unfriendly, and quickly apologized:

"Sorry, sorry. You buy it first..."

He took a few quick steps and stepped outside the shelf, no longer blocking the passage. The middle-aged man picked up a bag of flour and strode out. When he passed by Shen Le, he actually smiled at him:
"I'm sorry for what happened just now. - What? You don't know what to buy? Have you forgotten what your mother told you?"

The smile on Shen Le's face dimmed for a moment. He lowered his eyes and replied softly:
“I bought it myself.”

"Ah - sorry." The middle-aged man's face froze and he quickly apologized:

"I didn't mean to do that. Just take your time, I'm leaving!"

He carried the flour and hurried away, paying the bill and leaving. After walking halfway down the street and turning a corner, his expression slowly darkened:

"He looks like an ordinary person. His Qi and blood aren't strong, and he doesn't have any divine consciousness. I bumped into him just now, but it didn't take much strength to move him...

But what about Lang Li? He entered his house and was killed without a sound? Could he really be a master who was hiding his true power? "

The middle-aged man hesitated and wanted to go back and observe again, but he didn't dare to get closer.

When we first met, it was okay for him to bump into me once in a while, as long as I was not prepared. But if he bumped into me again, only a fool would not know there was a problem!
But...but...even if he was a master like that, he shouldn't have been able to be knocked away so easily after being bumped by him, right?
He had to look again, and look again... Even if there was the slightest danger, he couldn't just rush in! He would die!

Whether the tiger can survive the disaster is up to the tiger. Although he lives in the tiger's territory, he is not bound by it deeply and can run away at any time.

And if that young man was really an expert, he would have rushed into the house without even having to wait for the thunder tribulation, his doom would have come immediately!
The middle-aged man carried the bag of flour and walked away. In the supermarket, Shen Le looked around and had no choice but to bite the bullet and buy the most expensive one-pound bag of flour and carry it back to the studio.

Then, I started to add water when there was too much flour, and add flour when there was too much water...

Poor him, a kid from the Jiangnan water town, his staple food is rice, and he hardly eats noodles. If he wants to eat wontons occasionally, he just goes to the street to buy wonton wrappers. Why does he make his own dough?
nonexistent!

Who would have thought that the first time he kneaded dough himself was to explore the method of Kintsugi...

Flour is added with water, and flour paste is added with flour. Shen Le used the same spirit as mixing gypsum powder, epoxy resin, and various chemicals, and worked hard for half an hour.

Finally, knead the dough into a slightly dry dough that can be rolled into a ball or flattened, has plasticity, but is not so dry that it falls off. Then, pinch off a small ball, add lacquer in a one-to-one ratio, and start stirring:
Stir well, stir well, until it looks a little dry, but is quite sticky, and can be pulled into a thread with a stick. At this point, you can finally apply it to the cracks of the porcelain bowl.

Apply one layer of adhesive to the crack on the left half of the bowl, and another layer to the crack on the right half of the bowl. Put the two sides together, press them tightly, and then tie them carefully with a thin rope to prevent them from deforming during the curing process of the adhesive.

Then, Shen Le could finally breathe a sigh of relief, open his spiritual eyes, and observe slowly:

Ok……

The auras on both sides of the porcelain bowl extended very smoothly and soon blended harmoniously together. Moreover, no part of the porcelain bowl was damaged!

Kintsugi's method is useful!

Shen Le was ready to go and finally started to repair the small porcelain pieces in the doll cabinet.

In other words, I finally fished out those small porcelain pieces from the soda solution that had been soaked for a day and a night, washed them, and began to repair them:
Alas, I am poor, there is nothing I can do. Now the most advanced museums have begun to use micro-nano bubble repair devices to clean porcelain.

When it’s his turn, he can only use the simplest and most basic method!
Soak for 24 hours, take out, rinse with tap water, and finally rinse with Wahaha purified water.

When I lifted it up and took a closer look, I saw that most of the dirt had been washed away, leaving only a few tiny strands that were particularly eye-catching.

　This morning's new chapter was accidentally killed, so I swallowed my anger and revised it before releasing it...

　　Damn, what I wrote was about eating fruit seriously!
　　Totally serious!
　　Is it illegal for me to eat a piece of fruit?

　　The audit killed me by mistake!
　　Have you all seen this morning's chapter?

　　The cat cried and made a fuss, crying and making a fuss, asking for a hug, for comments, and for comfort...

　　It’s the last three days of the month. Don’t let your monthly tickets expire. Vote for the cats now!
