2. Save water. The importance of water need not be emphasized. In practice, we found that the moisture contained in jade is an important factor for the structural stability of jade. In the dry season or in the environment where the air is too dry, jade can't be properly moistened by water, which makes the water inside jade volatilize, indicating that jade is dry and there will be serious cotton threads and spots. Water saving is a maintenance method for this situation.
Glass filled with clear water is often placed in jewelry and jade counters, and the air humidity is adjusted by the evaporation of water in the glass, which plays two roles in the jade in the counter.
First, the water in jade will not volatilize in an environment with sufficient water.
Secondly, jade itself can supplement and absorb the needed water. Increasing the humidity of the environment where jade is located is an important method of water conservation. Emerald is an example that needs water most. Soak in water for more than half an hour regularly to keep it bright and moist.
3. closed. That is, jade hard plastic bags are sealed and collected. This move is to isolate the influence of environment and climate change on jade, which is conducive to stabilizing the inherent properties of jade.
4. Oil. Fuel saving is the most important maintenance method. Some jade will appear cotton thread and cotton spot after being left for a period of time. Practical experience has proved that applying proper amount of oil can eliminate cotton threads and cotton spots in a short time and restore the original appearance of jade.
5, waxing maintenance. That is, coating a layer of liquid paraffin on the surface of jade, also known as wax sealing, plays a role in sealing holes. Moderate temperature, moist air and clean and cool external environment are the prerequisites for Bahrain stone, feldspar stone and Qingtian stone to maintain their stable properties. The actual conditions make it difficult for the external environment to meet such high requirements for a long time. Therefore, Balin stone, feldspar stone and Qingtian stone are often cured by sealing wax to prevent materials from cracking and loose structure due to environmental impact.
6. Comprehensive maintenance. That is, two or three of the above curing methods are adopted alternately. No matter which maintenance method is adopted, it is necessary to clean the dust, dirt and various attachments on the jade surface with clear water before maintenance, so as to ensure the maintenance effect.
