Objectively speaking, under the drive of vicious competition, the waxing process of many mahogany factories has become less "pure", and the methods of smoothing wax, lacquer wax and even rubber grinding are endless.
Among them, "bleaching" is used more, and the mahogany furniture of authentic hot wax is actually not bleachable. The original red and yellow wood is bleached into white and then colored, and the oily damage to wood is particularly serious!
In traditional Chinese medicine, beeswax has the effects of detoxification, muscle growth and pain. Internal and external application can treat acute heartache, sputum and pus and blood, long-term diarrhea, fetal movement, bloody wounds, long-term collapse, water and fire burns, etc. .
In Western medicine, because the main component of beeswax is the ester formed by higher fatty acids and higher monohydric alcohols, it is made into various ointments, emulsions and suppositories for the treatment of ulcers, blemishes, burns and wounds.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Chinese Ming-style furniture began to use high-quality hardwood, and the craftsmen began to use "hot wax" to make hardwood furniture reflect the original natural beauty and play an effective protective role.
Traditional hot wax mahogany furniture, without any chemical additives, is impeccable in terms of health and environmental protection! Recently, in a certain hot wax mahogany furniture enterprise in Dongyang, the real production process of pure mahogany furniture hot wax was taken on the spot, and I shared with you Muyou:
The root of the hot waxing process is tied to the sanding. Only when the oil spills through the oil, the wax will give a mirror-like luster.
After the furniture is scraped, first use 100 mesh sandpaper to make the initial grinding, then use 120 mesh, and use 180 mesh. These are the stages of rough grinding.
The next step is to use 240 mesh - 400 mesh. The 600 mesh starts to be finely ground, and it is a fine grinding from 1000 to 2000 mesh.
Compared to the conventional standard of grinding to 600 mesh, the hot wax furniture can ensure that the oiliness of the furniture can come out, so it is necessary to add several fine grinding to 2000 mesh. Each time you grind it, you have to add a fee, which is also a relatively high cost of traditional hot wax.
The following is the result of the polished out:
After grinding to 2000 mesh, the furniture has been as smooth and delicate as a mirror, but the gloss is also relatively impetuous, not soft and round;
After the finish is finished, the next step is to prepare the wax. Pure hot wax mahogany furniture generally uses pure natural beeswax;
Boil the beeswax until it melts:
Next, melt the melted beeswax with a brush onto the already polished furniture:
Then use a 2200w high-temperature baking gun to bake the beeswax completely into the mahogany furniture, and brush it to every corner of the furniture with a brush:
The temperature of the drying gun is generally between 240 and 270 degrees. The temperature is too low to achieve the effect. Too high will burn the furniture.
After completing the previous step, the bakeware is then used to bake the furniture at a high temperature, so that the excess beeswax from the furniture overflows from the furniture, and the spilled beeswax is cleaned with cotton or cotton yarn:
This step should be repeated 3 to 4 times until there is no beeswax on the furniture surface.
After the waxing is completed:
In the process of ironing wax, the high-temperature drying gun is used. In addition to the integration of beeswax and furniture penetration, the furniture is accelerated and oxidized. The oiliness of the furniture itself also overflows with high temperature, and the color is deeper, subtle, restrained and round.
As time goes by, due to the constant oxidation of air, human hands and rags and other factors, hot wax furniture will appear in the furniture surface, edge and edge, a natural, translucent, warm and jade bag Pulp.
Pure hot wax mahogany furniture is not bleached, not colored, because there is no "masking", there is no need to see, so the requirements for materials are particularly demanding, any white skin and obviously smashed materials can not be used, this is also hot wax mahogany furniture The reason for the high cost.
Objectively speaking, under the drive of interests, many waxing processes in mahogany factories have become less "pure", and smooth waxing, lacquer wax and even rubber grinding are endless.
Among them, "bleaching" is used more, and the mahogany furniture of authentic hot wax is actually not bleachable. The original red and yellow wood is bleached into white and then colored, and the oily damage to wood is particularly serious!
Here are the bleached photos of mahogany furniture provided by Muyou:
Bleaching is very damaging to the oiliness of furniture. It is difficult to produce pulp and brightness without the oiliness of the furniture.
Some also first color the polished furniture, then use chemical paint to cure, then sandpaper thin (similar to making matt paint), and finally a variety of wax. In this way, the manufacturer not only shoddy the materials, but also masks the individual manufacturers' materials on the material.
According to the special professor of Beijing Forestry University, the restoration expert of the Palace Museum, and the teacher of classical furniture production process, Mr. Wang Xiulin, there are three main methods for this kind of falsification:
A1. Use curing agent: The wood with white skin is treated with a curing agent, and the wood material looks good and smooth.
B2, paint tray wax: the wood with the white skin will be colored with a thin layer of paint, and then the wax will be waxed. The wood from this method can basically achieve the effect of false and chaotic:
C3, smooth color wax: the wood with white skin will be colored and then waxed. This fake technology can also make the wood look beautiful and generous, and the average consumer can't distinguish it:
â–² Both types of hot waxing methods are suspected of deception, and the value is much lower than the real waxing process.
So how can I tell the truth when buying hot wax furniture?
First, the traditional waxing process is the use of beeswax, there is no pipe hole blocking the wood, the tube hole of the hot wax furniture (ie brown eye) is still open, so we can use vegetable oil to identify the true and false.
Take a small amount of vegetable oil and pour it on the surface of the furniture if the vegetable oil slowly penetrates into it. That proves to be really hot wax furniture. If it can't penetrate, it may be fake. It is probably cured by chemical paint. The brown eyes of the wood are closed, so it is difficult for vegetable oil to penetrate.
Second, you can also identify the true and false of the waxing furniture by observing the color difference. The real hot wax furniture still maintains the color texture of the original wood, and the natural wood is inevitably affected by the natural conditions, if the color is inevitable, if the consumer When buying hot wax furniture, the color of the furniture surface is the same, it is likely to be colored.
Third, by smelling can also identify true and false, real hot wax furniture is no smell, such as rosewood is sour and fragrant, fragrant wood is the fragrance.
But the solidified taste of the wood is much smaller. Moreover, after curing the furniture, after a period of use, the solidified layer will gradually wear out, and then wipe off will fade.
Fourth, wood can be used to identify true and false, not all mahogany is suitable for hot waxing. The hot waxing process has very good requirements for the hardness, texture and wood properties of mahogany. It is necessary to choose wood, high hardness, and be rich in itself. The resin, such as huanghuali, red sandalwood, black rosewood, red rosewood, Burmese rosewood and other high-quality mahogany can be used in the waxing process, while the wood with less wood and less resin is not bright enough after the waxing treatment.
In addition, according to the introduction of Teacher Wang Xiulin, for the white skin that is "hidden", you can look at the color (the color of the white skin part is "drift", as the red face and the red color of the face are different. ), by hand test the temperature (the density of the heart and sapwood is different, the temperature feel is also different), etc. to identify.
