Sure; that's a fact. We all know it. But it does not mean it is the best. 8-)

I think this “supplement discussion” about resin or other “removable materials” are simply reasoned by the fact, that to few restorers are able to deal properly with urushi. So the lack of knowledge and also the involved costs might are decisive points here?!
