Cleaning Instructions for Slate Shell & Wood

General discussions about gobans, etc., go here. If you're selling go equipment, it should go in the Trading Post.

Cleaning Instructions for Slate Shell & Wood

Post by Soromon »

I've recently finished my cleaning instructions. I'd be interested in hearing feedback.

Edit:
I've learned a lot in the last couple months, and have a new Care Instructions page up here:

Feedback


H2O2 ---- You talk about people possibly getting food grade at something like 35% but only discuss dangers of poisonings and eyes. I'd also want to warn about it as an oxidizer. I don't know for sure, for example, what would happen if you put some cotton in solution of 35%, took it out, and set a flame to it. In other words, don't know at what concentration would detonate << at high enough concentration, it would >>

So I would have advised folks JUST to get household 3%.

If you did want to have instructions for starting with stronger stuff, I'd include instructions to dilute to the 3%. Not forgetting to include that just as when diluting strong acids or bases, you add the strong stuff to the water and not the other way around << so if there is a splash, what is splashing is mainly the water and not the strong solution >>

PS: I just looked it up -- you might get detonation with alcohol at 30%

I heard bees wax and caranuba wax can discolor the wood slightly, which is probably a no no for some good hon kaya gobans... I heard renaissance wax works? Im not really sure what wax to use and trying to figure it out myself.

After a lot of experimenting and learning, I've updated my Care Instructions here:
https://store.baduk.club/pages/care

I'll keep refining that as I learn more.

As always, I'd be happy to hear any feedback you have!
