Boiling fresh wood in salt water for about 3 hours can effectively prevent wood cracking. This method is also relatively simple. Prepare a pot of water, sprinkle an appropriate amount of salt in it, then throw the wood in, cover it, cook it over low heat for about 3 hours, take it out, dry it in the shade and polish it properly, which can effectively prevent cracking. People familiar with woodworking know that fresh wood will crack due to internal water loss when it is placed for a period of time, so anti cracking measures need to be taken in advance when making. Only in this way can the appearance and durability of the goods be improved.
In general, to prevent wood from cracking, a common method in daily life is to boil wood in water. Prepare a pot of water, sprinkle an appropriate amount of salt in it, put the fresh wood in, cover it, cook it over low heat for about 3 hours, and then take it out to dry in the shade, which can effectively prevent the wood from cracking.
Note that the water temperature should not be too high, otherwise it will cause wood deformation. In addition, after the wood is dried in the shade, it needs to be polished with materials, so that it will not crack when used again. In addition to boiling, you can also apply chemical preservatives on fresh wood or paint silk on the wood surface with good water resistance, which can effectively prevent cracking.
