How to Maintain Your Birdfy Feeder Bamboo

To extend the lifespan of the bamboo housing of your Birdfy Feeder Bamboo while reducing the occurrence of mold or peeled varnish, it is recommended to apply a suitable sealer to the bamboo surface before use. While different brands may have specific instructions for their polishes, here is a general guide to follow:

Preparation: Ensure that the surface of the bamboo board is clean, dry, and properly sanded. Sanding helps open up the pores for better sealer absorption.
Thoroughly mix: Before application, stir the sealer in the container thoroughly to ensure a consistent and well-mixed solution.
Application: Use a clean, natural-bristle brush or a brush with long bristles to apply the sealer evenly onto the bamboo surface. Avoid applying excessive amounts and strive for a uniform coating.
Remove excess sealer: Allow sufficient time for the sealer to penetrate the bamboo. Once absorbed, gently wipe off any surplus sealer from the surface using a clean, dry cloth.
Drying: Allow ample time for the sealer to dry completely. The drying duration may vary depending on the product and weather conditions, typically ranging from several hours to a day.
Repeat coating: If necessary, apply additional layers of sealer to further enhance the protective effect.
