When you start playing, you will enter the rubbing stage. At this stage, you will feel that walnuts bite your hands, which is also the hardest stage for all nuclear friends. You will feel that your hands have become rough and have no sense of accomplishment, because there is nothing in the walnut skin at this stage. It will absorb the sweat and oil on your hands.
What we need to do at this stage is to rub the sweat and oil on our hands into the skin of walnuts, penetrate into the lippi of walnuts through the skin, and repeatedly adsorb and permeate to achieve the degree of rubbing. How long is the stage on? It depends on the time you play every day, the intensity of rubbing, the amount of sweat and oil secretion on your hands, the variety of walnuts, the climate and so on.
2, turn red stage:
After playing and rubbing for a long time, the texture of walnut itself will change, the water will evaporate, the volume will shrink, the weight will be slightly lighter, and the wood will gradually harden.
The baby's appearance is quietly changing and gradually turning red, which is the performance of starting sizing. The red rubbing stage is a process from sizing to wrapping, which takes about three to six months to reach the level of initial sizing.
3. Wet and slippery stage:
This stage is the continuation of the red rubbing stage and the sublimation process of walnut pulp package. As a result of playing for a long time, the walnut patina will become thicker and thicker, and the walnut skin and body fluids will give full play to the chemical reaction, and the wood will become harder and harder, and the color will become heavier and heavier, showing: red → dark red → purple red.
During this period, the baby in your hand is basically qualitative, and no matter how you play, you won't bite your hand again. Smoother edges and corners form the mutual maintenance of walnut and palm. At the same time, don't worry about it cracking, because the baby has put on a thick slurry coat.
