Bamboo Splitting Technique BenchmarksTable
Key parameters and target values for quality assurance.
| Parameter | Target | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Moisture | Within spec | Test before cover |
| Compaction | Uniform layers | ≤150 mm lifts |
| Safety | PPE worn | Stop if unsure |
Temperature Matters
Allow materials to reach room temperature before working — cold materials behave differently.
Progressive Refinement
Work from coarse to fine — don't skip intermediate steps to save time.
Borax Bath
Mix and apply borax-boric preservative outdoors or with exhaust fan — powder irritates lungs.
Safety Notes
- Sharp splinters cause infection — gloves required.
