I am not interested in "taking care of things", but I like to "repair things in my own way".

However, it's not elegant.

My policy is to "cut corners and make repairs with ease.

For example, for watches with missing joins, I tear off the end of the watch band and pour instant glue into it for use.

My G-panels that are worn out and have holes in them will only spread if you leave them as they are.

So, I poured wood glue into the hole, and

In addition, I tried to repair it by painting over it with an oil-based black magic marker.

When the bottom of my backpack pocket fell out, in the same way, I applied wood glue to the bottom of the pocket and waited for it to harden.

I used an oil-based black magic marker to paint over the hardened object.

Well, the purpose of this repair is to "repair" for the purpose of continued use.

However, there is nothing "beautiful" about it.

The watch was something I bought on Amazon for about 3,800 yen 10 years ago, and the G pants and backpack were cheap.

I'm not so poor that I can't afford a watch, g-pants, and a backpack.

If you ask me, "Is that a wasteful mentality? I don't think so either.

The answer that fits me best is "I feel bother with the time it takes to get used to new things.

And "wood glue".

As the son of the president of a downtown woodworking company, I have a deep affection for "woodworking bond.

Strong adhesive effect, beautiful finish after drying (becomes transparent), easy to handle, and water soluble.

Wood glue can be easily removed with water and brush before it solidifies. In addition, it is safe for the human body.

The other day, I broke the lid of a teapot (kyusu) and used instant glue.

Apparently, this was not a good idea.

Regarding safety, there are some substances mixed in that are not completely safe, and my wife especially does not like to use them.

However, I read

"Safe, Easy and Cheap DIY Modern "Kinatsugi" Tableware Repair Methods"

There seems to be a "safety bond for wood glue.

"wood glue", awesome

So, the other day

"From now on, if a piece of pottery breaks, I will repair it (just my dishes), so please don't discard it right away!"

I have sent this message to my family by LINE.
