However, no matter whether it is Ziziphus jujuba seeds or Impatiens bodhi seeds, the playing methods are similar. The methods 1 and 2 you mentioned are all wrong. You should not boil butter or water. Don't touch the water to prevent cracking, and don't cook ghee because ghee will color bodhi, so what's the counter offer?
The correct method should be:
1) Rub the surface hard with a bath towel. The function is actually to clean the wax layer and dirty color on the surface and re-polish it. It takes about 2-3 hours a day for two to three days. When there is no patina in the early stage, use a wenwan wire brush to clean the bodhi so that there is no dirt in the gap, and the dish will be beautiful when it is played. If there is patina in the later stage, Just pick it out carefully and slowly with a needle
2) Rubbing it with a soft cotton cloth for a week is also polishing. At this time, there will be traces on the surface of the soft cloth, which is normal. After a week, the color will fade.
3) Leave it naturally for a week. Let the beads dry naturally. At the same time, the surface will contact with air evenly to form a fine and uniform oxidation protective layer.
4) Start to dish your hands. At this time, your hands must be washed and dried thoroughly. Please don't dish them directly if you are sweaty. Be sure to dish them around the orifice for about 3 minutes a day. After one to two weeks, In fact, this has formed a thin patina.
5) At this time, you can leave it for a period of time, and then naturally dry it. You can also let the patina harden to a certain extent, which is usually about a week.
6) Repeat the process of 4 and 5 for 5 to 6 times, that is, 3 months, and you will see a very aura luster. The dish will sometimes show a strong reflection. Some of them are like glass luster.
It is important to note that if they are dirty, you can wipe them with a slightly moist cotton cloth for several times. Then leave them for a while before you play. When you dish, try to get all the areas, especially the hole. The most taboo of the dish is quick success and instant benefit. You can only take it one process at a time, and you can also get a kind of spiritual pleasure with the change.
