What are the ways to prevent the board from cracking?

Wooden boards have very strict requirements on moisture content, because once it exceeds the specified range, it is easy to crack or deform, and then it cannot be used. If such a problem occurs in a large manufacturer, it will cause serious losses. In view of this situation, what are some ways to prevent the board from cracking? And where should we pay more attention?

First, mechanical protection method

Craftsmen who often deal with these things all know this method, which is to wait until the board is dry. In order to prevent it from deforming or cracking, some wire or something will be tied on it to fix it. This will apply a force to it from the outside, and when the board expands, it can be better controlled. After using this method, the degree of cracking will naturally be much smaller.

Second, brush some paint on the surface

The reason why wood cracks is simple: there is too little moisture inside, just like the steamed buns we eat every day, which will crack if they are too dry. So in order to avoid this situation, we need to maintain the moisture inside and slow down its evaporation. How to do it? There is a kind of paint on the market that can reduce the emission of moisture when applied to the surface of an object, which is very effective in preventing wood cracking.

Third, soaking method with specific reagents

There are many products on the market that can prevent wood from drying out and cracking. Among them, there is a waterproofing agent that is particularly effective. You only need to soak something in it. After a long period of treatment, it will completely penetrate into each texture. In this way, when you take it out, the moisture will no longer evaporate easily and can be maintained within the specified content range for a long time.
