For older people, do they always like to play with strings in their hands? So how is the string easy to pack? The wrapping is gradually polished and oxidized after the passage of time. This layer of wrapping is naturally formed. It is implicit, gentle, quiet and unassuming. It gives people a cordial feeling. It is like an ancient gentleman. It is modest and amiable. You can always feel the spring breeze bathing people when you are in contact with it. It conforms to the academic cultivation of a Confucian.
Let's take a look at how 'wrapping' is formed
Up to now, there is not a book about the cause of the formation of "Baojiang" in ancient antiques. Red sandalwood, yellow pear, old sandalwood and other precious wood in our wooden Buddha beads are all oily inside. By playing properly for a long time, the oil in the Buddha beads leaks out slowly and oxidizes and melts with each other after contacting with the air. But it should be noted that some bead friends rub the beads in the hands of big sweat for a long time, and then nod oil, face oil, nose oil and so on. The surface of the beads forms a black layer, which is not what we call "wrapping", but an old layer of oil mud.
How can wooden Buddha beads dish out real 'wrapping'
If you want to dish out the coating, you should first choose the Buddha beads with good density and texture, such as the old red sandalwood with good density and oil.
Most precious wood hand strings have different oil content due to their delicate wood, so they don't need any oil on the plate. Oiling will be counterproductive, wood will become black, and then it is difficult to form a slurry. Rubbing with a soft cotton plate for a period of time is also equivalent to polishing with 5000 grit sandpaper. If it is a small leaf red sandalwood hand string, there will be discoloration. After a week, the color will be light or not, which is a normal phenomenon. Then it needs to be placed in a cool place to dry naturally, while the surface is in even contact with the air to form a fine and even oxidation protection layer. In this way, over time, you will find that the bead surface becomes smoother.
At this time, you can use the hand plate. When you play the plate, your hands must be washed and dried thoroughly to ensure that there is no sweat on your hands. When you play the plate, you should feel the beads are warm and smooth. If you feel the beads are astringent when you play the plate, you should stop playing the plate. The bead must also be coiled around the hole. There is no time to plate every day, and beads also need to rest. After 10 days, when playing with micro sweat hand plate, you can feel the beads have a slight sense of viscosity. This is the beads that have formed a thin layer of slurry, and need to continue drying.
Smooth plate play - Sticky resistance - dry - smooth plate play (keep beads clean)
Such repeated play, beads will have a aura of luster, good beads have a layer of glass luster, three points into the eye, this is hanging porcelain. How long does it take for the wooden Buddha beads to be coated? There is no standard time according to the hard work of playing.
Red sandalwood pulp
Because of the effect of oxidation, the color of red sandalwood is much darker than this when it is coated
Taboo for playing wooden Buddha beads plate:
1. Do not touch any grease, including oil on hands.
2. Don't sweat your hands.
3. The moisture is too big to dish beads. The moisture will pinch the beads. All previous efforts have been wasted.
4. Do not use nails to make beads.
5. Do not put the plate down after one pass. Wipe it with a piece of cotton cloth.
6. Do not force the plate. Avoid the collision of beads.
7. It can't be touched with water, let alone washed.
8. Can't be exposed to the sun, red sandalwood will turn white after long-term exposure, easy to crack.
How can Bodhi beads dish out real 'Baojiang'
The difference between Bodhi beads and wooden beads is that Bodhi beads are not afraid of oil or sweaty hands. Xingyue Bodhi needs to be polished, and the surface may leave a sandpaper print, so it needs to be polished again first. You can choose rough washcloth or coarse cloth for initial polishing, and then use fine cotton cloth for further plate playing. When the surface is as bright as glaze, place it for oxidation for a few days, and then it's the process of hand plate 'coloring'.
