Precautions for use – Urushi lacquers

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.
