Hot wax is a manufacturing process of traditional Chinese furniture, and many furniture factories still use this process. The traditional waxing process has high requirements for operation and wood. Nowadays, some companies use some inferior wax or chemical materials to blind consumers in order to manage economical and simple operations. How to identify true and false? Furniture fans help consumers do their homework.
Hot wax step
In the true sense of the waxing process, after polishing the surface of the furniture with high-grade fine sandpaper, the furniture is directly protected with beeswax, so that the beeswax forms a protective film together with the resin in the wood, and then walnut oil, palm oil, etc. Vegetable oil conservation. The furniture treated in this way will be brighter and brighter. Moreover, it can form a patina after a long time of use.
However, there are currently two kinds of hot waxing processes commonly used on the market: one is the floor wax which is liquid after sanding, and the purpose is to make it feel smooth. For manufacturers, this is economical, but liquid floor wax is often not a natural thing, and can not be compared with natural beeswax. The other is to first color the finely ground furniture, then use chemical paint to cure, then use sandpaper to 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. Both types of hot waxing methods are suspected of deception, and shoddy or simply use chemical raw materials, can not be compared with the real hot wax process, the value is much lower.

How can I tell the truth when buying hot wax furniture? Furniture fans introduce you to four methods:
1, the most practical method: 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 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.
2, can be used to identify true and false wood, not all mahogany is suitable for hot wax, hot wax process has great requirements for the hardness, texture and wood properties of mahogany, to choose good wood, high hardness, self-rich The resin, such as huanghuali, red sandalwood, black rosewood, red 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.

3, 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.
4, in addition, by observing the color difference to identify the true and false of the waxing furniture, the real hot wax furniture still maintains the color texture of the original wood, and the natural wood is affected by the natural conditions, the wood will inevitably have a color difference, if the consumer When buying hot wax furniture, the color of the furniture surface is the same, it is likely to be colored.
