So recently three of my shui ping pots fell victim to a falling piece of glass art. Two of them where from the 80,s possibly earlier the other from the 90s. I had recently read the post on kintsugi at Listening to leaves. I am curious if any one knows anything about the process, an artist that practices that technique or had any experience with the kits mentioned in the post?
I am not really overly concerned with the appearance.I really would just like the pots to be functional again in a way that won't effect the pots performance, the taste of the tea or release anything toxic into my tea.

Re: Yixing repair
No wonder why you took that much effort to fix that pot: it is a very nice one and the bell shape is another classic winning design:
