This section introduces how to adjust E-Urushi, an essential material for Kintsugi and Maki-e.
When urushi becomes too thick and difficult to work with, a very small amount of turpentine oil can be added to achieve a smoother, more workable consistency.
However, adding too much may affect the properties of urushi, so caution is required. Since turpentine oil is volatile, it can be used in very small amounts to improve workability.
