Treating bamboos involves various preservation methods like resin-oil extraction, bleaching, and dyeing. Resin-oil extraction is done through a wet or dry process using caustic soda or carbonate of soda solutions. Bleaching removes color through sunlight, air, or chemicals. Dyeing applies color directly using vegetable dyes or through reactive dyeing with dye, salt, and fixing agents. Another treatment is pyrography which uses a hot wire to burn designs onto bamboo. Proper documentation of materials, quantities, costs and tools is important for budgeting and completing bamboo treatment projects smoothly.

Treating Bamboos

1. Preserving and Treating Bamboos


There are various ways of treating bamboo to preserve
its natural beauty. It is called the resin-oil extraction
method. It is done by either wet or dry process. In the
wet process, the bamboo is soaked overnight in a
solution of 0.1% to 1.2% caustic soda or carbonate of
soda or boiled in this solution for 10-15 minutes. In the
dry process, bamboo poles are evenly heated over
charcoal at a temperature of 49 C to 54 C for 20-30
minutes.
2. Bleaching is the process of whitening or removing the
colour by sunlight exposure, air ventilation or by the use
of chemical solutions.
3. Dyeing Bamboo Poles and Splints
Dyeing is the process of applying colour into the materials.
The direct dyeing or reactive dyeing method may be used. In
direct dyeing, bamboo splints make sure of vegetable dye. It
is done by boiling water with dye and immersing the bamboo
splints until the desired colour is achieved. They are dried
under the sun. In reactive dyeing, the following materials are
used: 30% of dye; salt is 30 grams per liquid and fixing agent
is 30 grams per liquid. The dye is dissolved in water and is
diluted to the final volume. The bamboo splints are soaked
for10 minutes then salt is added and dyeing is continued for
an hour.
4. Pyrography is the process of burning designs of bamboo
with hot wire. The electric soldering iron is considered the
best tool in pyrography.
Things to Remember
Record properly the kind, quantity and amount of
materials that it is easy to buy and prepare for the
project. It is important to know the total amount of the
materials needed so that you can prepare the money or
budget.
Aside from the materials, you should know what
tools/equipment are
appropriate in making your project. Having experience
and expertise in the use of tools/equipment will help to
finish the project smoothly and on time. Then study the
procedures/ steps to follow when doing the project. It
test your ability to follow directions. No materials will be
wasted if there are specific steps to follow.
