2. When drying the gourd in the shade, make sure that there is a gap between the gourd and the gourd to facilitate ventilation. Usually it's done in a month. The post-processing of gourd has four most important production links. First, scrape the skin in time. After picking the gourd and opening the mold, scrape the skin in time. The skin of the gourd has wax to ensure moisture, so it is difficult to dry the gourd without scraping the skin.
3, go to the pulp, gourd pulp has a high water content, and it is most prone to mildew and rot. After picking, the gourd should be peeled in time, and the gourd should be soaked in the pool for 5-7 days. Aft that gourd pulp is fermented, the shake pulp is taken out and cooled in time.
4, painting, gourd painting has five processing techniques: pinching flowers, hot stamping, carving, painting and modeling. Pinching flowers is a unique skill of China. Squeeze out the concave picture on the surface of the gourd with a pinch knife, so as not to crush the gourd.
Don't expose the picked waist-splitting gourd to the sun, it will dry and shrink into wrinkled skin. Dry naturally in a cool, dry and ventilated environment. Don't punch holes in the gourd, which will not only destroy the quality of the gourd, but also cause the wound to be moldy.
When the gourd is 50% dry, remove the skin of the gourd. Premature peeling will make the gourd shrink seriously, because the water loss of the gourd is too fast and the degree of lignification of the gourd is low. Wait for the water in the gourd to evaporate naturally for a while before peeling (just use a phone card or bank card).
