Urushi lacquers, derived from the sap of the lacquer tree ( Toxicodendron vernicifluum ), are natural and durable but require certain precautions.

Handling and safety

• Always wear gloves (nitrile or vinyl): fresh urushi can cause allergic reactions (eczema).

• Do not handle with bare hands.

• Work in a well-ventilated area, away from food and drinks.

Drying

• Urushi dries by oxidation under humidity (75–80% / 20–25°C).

• Drying time: from 12 hours to several days depending on the thickness and conditions.

Cleaning and storage

• Clean the tools with vegetable oil (camellia, rapeseed…), then with alcohol or soap.

• Keep the tube tightly closed, away from heat and light.

• Do not allow the lacquer to dry on the tools.

In case of contact

• Rinse immediately with vegetable oil, then with soapy water.

• Consult a healthcare professional if a skin reaction occurs.
