Olive kernel eighteen Luohan play

There are two main ways to play with olive kernel:

1, anti-cracking.

Cracking is the phenomenon that olive kernel is prone to, the principle of cracking lies in the nucleus and the nucleus outside the humidity is not uniform. Olive kernel is generally composed of three petals, three petals are separated from each other, each petal between the kernel.

After carving the work, the kernel is removed, which forms three empty sacs. The air humidity inside the capsule and the humidity outside the nucleus should be kept in balance, if the high inside and low outside, the difference is huge, then the nucleus is moist outward expansion, the nuclear surface is dry inward contraction, which will be cracked. Prevent cracking, should pay attention to the following points:

a, sunscreen. Sunlight or high-temperature light for a long time direct sunlight will lead to cracking.

b, waterproof. Olive kernel works into the water or water brushing and cleaning, empty sacs into the water evaporates very slowly, the exterior evaporates very quickly, resulting in swelling from the inside out and cracking. If water, can be placed in a food bag to play a loose knot, let the water slowly evaporate, do not dry quickly.

c, wind. Wind is one of the important causes of cracking, especially in the northern region, a short period of time the wind is easy to blow the olive kernel cracked. Therefore the wind is a little strong, it should be properly collected in case of trouble.

2, olive kernel itself has a lot of oil within, but with the passage of time, the oil is dissipated, so it must be oiled to strengthen its oil, oil less easy to crack, such as wood is too dry will crack, is a reason.

Oil on the surface, it will eat into the internal, spread evenly, the whole nucleus can absorb the oil.

Oil method is: the use of soft brush dipped in a little light-colored oil (olive oil, peanut oil, salad oil, soybean oil can be), the first in any apparatus on the brush for a few times, so that the oil flows evenly to the brush hairs, and then you can brush up towards the nuclear carving, the circumference of the body filled with oil can be.

After the nuclear carving flower, sure to destroy the character, but players please do not worry, because the flower will not lead to crack. Moreover, the nuclear carving after playing for a year and a half, the overall color will be deep red, the flower spots will be faint, and finally fade into nothing, so do not be afraid.

Expanded Information:

p>Olive kernel eighteen Luohan identification method:

Identification of appearance:

1, whether the color is uniform, there is no flower point.

2, nuclear meat thick or not, nuclear skin thin or not, to meat thick skin thin for the best.

3, high density, if it is not high density of the nucleus, in the oil will be very easy to spend.

4, whether it is a strange nucleus, nucleus if it is particularly large or small, the value will be very high. If it is the Buddha's hand kernel or multi-flower kernel, it is even more rare and good.

Identify whether staining:

1, look at the color of the degree of proportionality. Hand plate of nuclear carving, in the process of plate, due to the uneven surface of nuclear carving, so the protruding part will often be friction and recessed part is difficult or not at all plate,

In this case, the discoloration of nuclear carving will appear inconsistent and uneven, the first discoloration of the protruding part of the color will be slightly darker than the recessed part of the color or significantly deeper.

But since most players often brush olive oil on the surface of the carving in order to clean it, it is not uncommon for them to do so. The sunken part of the carving will also change color slowly after brushing with oil, but this color change has a very obvious characteristic, that is, it is not translucent enough.

And often by the hand plate to the protruding part, plus olive oil, will become particularly translucent.

2, look at the surface whether there are small scratches. We usually disk nuclear carving has a lot of time do not pay attention to hand cleaning, hand dirty when disk nuclear carving is like taking a fine sandpaper in the scratching nuclear carving, disk the longer, the nuclear carving on the small scratches will be more.

Some friends are very attentive to this point, in the disk before washing their hands, this is first of all worth advocating, but also shows that you play very carefully and care. However, there are still places that are overlooked.

Many friends play nuclear carving, their own have clean nuclear carving with a small toothbrush, every day when you are idle, you will use a small toothbrush dipped in a little oil to brush the nuclear carving.

The nuclear carving is brushed clean, but the toothbrush is dirty. The vast majority of people focus on cleaning the nuclear sculpture, but never clean the small brush used to brush it.

Small brushes accumulate a lot of dirt over the years, with such brushes to clean the nuclear carving, over time, as much as the surface of the nuclear carving will scratch a lot of small traces.

What's more, the toothbrush with very hard bristles to the nuclear carving, that is, it will seriously scratch the nuclear carving. After a long time of playing with the sculpture, the appearance of scratches, it becomes inevitable and more and more.

So the real hand play discoloration of the nuclear carving, the surface must be a lot of small scratches, and never like just use the machine to polish the surface of the nuclear carving as particularly smooth.

3, see whether the surface of the carving is bright. The real disc disc discoloration of the nuclear carving, not only is the color darker, more importantly, the nuclear carving will become translucent, as if the feeling of agate stone, especially the surface of the nuclear carving of the protruding part of the nuclear carving is usually also the most translucent part of the nuclear carving.

But the staining of nuclear carving, just uniform darkening of the color, and absolutely no feeling of translucency, and the color is dead.
