Maintaining the 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:
  1. 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.
  2. Thoroughly mix: Before application, stir the sealer in the container thoroughly to ensure a consistent and well-mixed solution.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Repeat coating: If necessary, apply additional layers of sealer to further enhance the protective effect.
