How to maintain a birdcage and what oil can be used?

Organic silicone oil (thin model) or Johnson & Johnson baby oil

1. Ensure that the bamboo will not deform the birdcage or crack the interface due to changes in external moisture and temperature; < /p>

2. Keep the surface of the birdcage smooth and clean, free of mildew, black lines, etc., and the surface of the birdcage will develop a reddish-brown luster after a period of time;

3. Maintain the toughness of the bamboo. Ensure the birdcage is strong and durable;

4. Prevent insects from being eaten.

Selected maintenance agent: silicone oil, homemade wax (main ingredients palm wax, beeswax, wood wax, etc.)

Silicon oil (CH3 (CH3) 3-SiO- (SiO) n -Si-(CH3)3CH3): Colorless, clear liquid available in a variety of viscosities, from very free-flowing liquid to thick semi-solid. It has excellent high and low temperature resistance, low freezing point, small viscosity-temperature coefficient, large compressibility, low surface tension, good water-adding and moisture-proof properties, and chemical stability. Due to the above characteristics of silicone oil, using silicone oil to maintain bamboo can effectively lock and replace part of the moisture, effectively preventing the bamboo rings from deforming and exploding due to excessive moisture loss or temperature changes, and the bamboo's toughness is reduced and easy to break, etc. Something wrong. Moreover, silicone oil is liquid and can produce a better hair suction effect when it comes into contact with the pores on the surface of bamboo, thereby quickly penetrating into the interior of the bamboo and maintaining bambooware from the inside. Some netizens will ask, why not use walnut oil. Older generations like to use walnut oil to rub wooden birdcages and other objects.

The accessories include a dung board, a drying bar, and a bird food tank. It is composed of , water tank, jade finger, horsetail string, etc. These accessories are generally made of wood or bamboo, and a laser machine can be used for various styles of engraving and hollowing. The laser engraving machine can adjust the depth of engraving according to the designer's material thickness and processing effect requirements, and can also design the pattern the customer wants.
