How to wax the root carving

Question 1: How to wax the wood of root carving In the production process of root carving art works, some only paint without burning wax, some both paint and burn wax, and some only burn wax without painting. No matter which method is adopted, it is feasible as long as it can meet the work requirements. There are many ways to burn wax in root carving works, which can be roughly divided into three types: wet wax, dry baking and hot soaking.

Wet waxing: beeswax or insect wax can be dissolved in gasoline or turpentine to make a solution. Evenly spread the wax liquid on the surface of the root art work with a paint brush or a combination brush, and let it dry in the shade for about two hours. Then polish it with a soft cloth, and then polish it with a dry fine cloth until all the turpentine in the wax volatilizes on the roots. After drying in the shade for a day or two, apply wax liquid and rub it several times, which can increase the intensity of waxing and the luster of root art works.

Dry baking wax: Apply a proper amount of dry paraffin oil powder on the surface of the root art works, bake the wax powder with a hair dryer, and use its heat to make the wax liquid gradually penetrate into the root wood. After baking, wipe it with a cloth and let the wax spread evenly on the workpiece. Then put the wax powder, heat it, bake it, grind it, and repeat it several times to get the ideal effect.

Hot dipping wax: put the wax into a container and heat it to liquefy, then put the work into the container to boil the wax, take it out (the specific time depends on the size and root material of the work), and then wipe off the wax beads to prevent the wax film from being too thick. When boiling wax, you should master the temperature of wax. The wax temperature is higher and the cooking time is longer, which makes the wax liquid penetrate into the wood. After being taken out, it can be wiped, polished and polished with a soft cloth, and the expected effect can be obtained.

Question 2: How to color the root carving? Is it better to wax or paint? There are many colors of root carving, depending on the color of the raw material. As for waxing or painting, it depends on the nature of the selected root material. Hard and dense wood can be directly waxed, while loose wood materials must be soaked in diluted varnish and polished to remove its luster before waxing. Relevant information can be found online, so it is not convenient to say more here.

Question 3: How to polish and wax the golden bell cypress root carving? Admiralty cypress is first soaked for half a day, and then the bark and cement skin are cleaned with a steel wire wheel on an angle grinder. Then beat it with emery cloth wheel, taking care not to destroy the natural grooves and lines. Then there is sanding, rough grinding and fine grinding. Then polish it with a wool wheel, which is light and not sticky. If it is red, red and white, there is no need to wax it. Dishes with bath towels will look good if you play with natural colors. If you must wax, then use pure natural beeswax and bake wax oil on the root carving of golden cypress with industrial-grade hair dryer.

Question 5: How to color the root carving There are many colors of the root carving, depending on the material and purpose. As for waxing or painting, it depends on the nature of the selected root material. Hard and dense wood can be directly waxed, and loose wood materials must be soaked in diluted varnish, polished to remove its light transmission before waxing.

Question 6: Is it better to wax or paint the root carving? 1. complementary color method

Some root trees are invaded by fungi, or influenced by chemical and physical factors, and the surface color becomes darker and lighter. When creating root art works, we should make proper complementary colors to unify the colors. There are many kinds of supplementary pigments, including natural mineral pigments and chemical pigments (that is, painting pigments or industrial dyes). The specific complementary color should imitate the depth of the color of the root wood itself, and then adjust the color to make up. Complementary color is to make the natural colors on the surface of root art works consistent, complete and harmonious, and further highlight the natural beauty of root art works.

2. Antique coloring method

The antique coloring of root art generally depends on the toughness and dryness of root wood, and the amount of color used and the coloring method are different, depending on the wood. In the use of color, tan is generally the main color, and the simple color tone of root art works is formed by using the change of light and shade of color tone. In the choice of pigments, it also varies from material to material. No matter what pigments are used, as long as the antique effect is achieved, it meets the author's antique requirements.

Step 3 keep natural colors

When making root art works, maintaining the natural color of root wood is also to meet people's demand for color appreciation, which is a formal pursuit of the beauty of root art works by the author. Whether a root art work is colored or keeps its natural color depends on the material. If the root material of this work is beautiful in color and fresh in texture, it should keep its natural color, and there is no need to color it otherwise it will be self-defeating. There is also the need to treat the roots as antique. Maintaining the natural color of root art works is an aesthetic tendency in today's society and a hobby of art appreciators. Although some root art works have maintained their true colors, it does not mean that they should not be reprocessed. When painting or scalding wax, you should pay attention to choosing colorless paint and wax, so that the wood grain of the root wood can be clearly seen.

Question 7: How to wax the root carving with colorless shoe polish? I think waxing the root carving is a very cautious step. I think you can consult the root carving trading network.

Question 8: Is it better to use oil or wax for root carving? Dear car owner, it will be better to use beeswax (the gloss will be better after polishing). I hope my answer can help you.

Question 9: Whether it is better to wax the root carving or use other methods depends on personal preference. Coloring method: 1. Complementary color method Some root trees are affected by fungi or chemical and physical factors, and their surface colors have become darker and lighter. When creating root art works, we should make proper complementary colors to unify the colors. There are many kinds of supplementary pigments, including natural mineral pigments and chemical pigments (that is, painting pigments or industrial dyes). The specific complementary color should imitate the depth of the color of the root wood itself, and then adjust the color to make up. Complementary color is to make the natural colors on the surface of root art works consistent, complete and harmonious, and further highlight the natural beauty of root art works. Second, the antique coloring method is based on the antique coloring of root wood. Generally, it depends on the toughness and dryness of the root wood. The color of porcelain and the coloring method are different, depending on the wood. In the use of color, tan is generally the main color, and the simple color tone of root art works is formed by using the change of light and shade of color tone. In the choice of pigments, it also varies from material to material. No matter what pigments are used, as long as the antique effect is achieved, it meets the author's antique requirements. 3. Keeping the true colors of the root art works and the true colors of the root wood is not only to meet people's needs for color appreciation, but also the author's pursuit for the formal beauty of the root art works. Whether a root art work is colored or keeps its natural color depends on the material. If the color of the root material of this work can be seen and the texture is fresh, it is necessary to keep the natural color, and there is no need to color it or it will be self-defeating. There is also the need to treat the roots as antique. Maintaining the natural color of root art works is an aesthetic tendency in today's society and a hobby of art appreciators. Although some root art works have maintained their true colors, it does not mean that they should not be reprocessed. When painting or scalding wax, you should pay attention to choosing colorless paint and wax, so that the wood grain of the root wood can be clearly seen.

Question 10: How to polish root carving There are basically two ways to polish and polish root carving:

One is hand polishing (using emery cloth and wood file).

The second is mechanical polishing.

These two methods are best used alternately. Because most root materials are uneven and varied, they are all mechanically polished, which is easy to damage useful nodes or image parts on the root body. First, use 0 # sandpaper or water sand to polish, so that the wood grain on the root body appears. Because the surface characteristics and morphology of each root material are different, the grinding method used should also be different from material to material.

In the production of root carving art works, the process of grinding and polishing should not only be polished for grinding, but should be regarded as better revealing the natural characteristics and wonderful artificial technology of root carving wood. Starting from this basic point, when polishing, we will pay attention to where the root material needs polishing, where it needs rough grinding or fine grinding, and so on. We will be able to use it freely if we know it well. Otherwise, the useful textures and knots on the root wood will be worn away, the natural texture and expressive image of the root wood will be damaged, and the works of root art will lose the charm of natural beauty. Even if the surface of such a work is polished brightly, it will not achieve the ideal artistic effect. Therefore, when polishing and polishing works, root artists should be targeted and treat specific works in a specific way.

After the painting process, the root material should be polished with water sandpaper and then waxed to protect the paint film. There are three kinds of wax: paraffin wax, light wax and hard wax. Paraffin wax is mainly used for root crafts that do not require high surface gloss; Light wax is brighter and smoother than paraffin wax, and is often used to polish the last surface of painted products to protect the paint film. Hard wax is used to polish terrazzo surface and burn wax on floor.

1. Blow-torch wax baking: first brush the seven-light wax on the root art, then bake the wax with a blowtorch (gasoline as fuel) to make the wax "eat" into the wood, and then polish it with a brown wheel.

2. Blow the wax with a hair dryer: spread the wax on the root art, blow it with a hair dryer, let the wax "eat" in the wood, and then polish it with a brown wheel or cotton yarn.

3. Wax coating with brush or cotton cloth: clean the surface, dry it, coat the cleaned root material with wax polish with brush or cotton cloth, and then polish it with rough dry cloth.
