JB weld works good.

Indeed jb weld is good for external repairs but should not be considered for internal repairs as it contains bisphenol A

That kintsugi looks horrid on Euro porcelains.

Would the very small amount of JBweld that would be used on a repair to the body of a teapot be much of a health risk? The reports talk about cans lined with plastic as being suspect. The small amount of jbweld surely couldn't compare to the lining of a tin can, could it?

Totally agree. Kintsugi must be done really well to be beautiful, else it may end looking a bit vulgar. Also, the linked set has nothing to do with kintsugi, just epoxy glue and a cheap powder (steel or mica?)... I'd probably just use an old-school epoxy to glue the knob back. Good luck with the repair.

Agree. That is how kintsugi/gintsugi shouldn't be done!

No idea. In principle bpa in tin linings are crosslinked forms that are used as coatings. In jbweld it is uncrosslinked bpa that is induced to be crosslinked. If 100% all is crosslinked, it willbe just like coarings etc, but if some bpa are free, it will leach. Plus teapots see lots of repeated heating with hotwater, materials can breakdown faster over time than being kept all the time at room temp.

I used the method of kintsugi.
Easily bought online for relativity cheap less than 30$ shipped.
My reflections are don't rush the repair process.
The glue was applied heavily in this particular repair and isn't visually as clean as it could be, but I would strongly recommend trying to type of repair.
