Is bakelite cracking related to the weather?

This is very important. Mainly because of the climate, there is a difference in temperature and humidity at home, which leads to the change of wood moisture content, so there will be cracking and deformation.

Effectively avoid the cracking problem of wooden furniture and handicrafts. We can increase the air humidity by raising flowers, fish and placing humidifiers at home, so as to achieve a reasonable balance between the moisture content and cellulose of wood and achieve the effect of maintenance. In addition, wood products, it is best to stay away from heating as much as possible.

Method for prevent bakelite from cracking

Scald it with boiling water first to wash off the wax on the outer layer. After washing, be sure to soak in strong salt water for one day. Strong brine means boiling water and adding salt while it is hot until it no longer dissolves. The purpose of soaking in concentrated salt water for one day is to make the wood surface salty and absorb water, which can prevent the wood from drying and cracking.

Secondly, pots of water can be placed next to wood products or in a humid environment to keep the air moist, which can effectively prevent wood from cracking.

Thirdly, high temperature setting treatment is adopted. It can effectively eliminate the possibility of internal cracking of wood, and it can also be prevented by mechanical methods, that is, using anti-cracking rings and painting waterproof coatings on the ends and surfaces of wood, which can well slow down the evaporation speed of wood surface and thus reduce wood cracking.
