How To Mix Glutinous Rice Glue in Winter in Hangzhou

With the sudden cold weather, the northern region has been covered with snow, and the construction of wallpaper and wallcovering also has a lot to pay attention to.

Precautions for using glutinous rice glue:

In winter, when the temperature is too low, some of the wet glue will harden and regenerate (just like rice dumplings that harden after being heated and cooled, and feel like raw when bitten off, and like half cooked when not cooked). It is difficult to mix and the viscosity will also decrease.

Before mixing at low temperature, it is recommended to put the whole bag of glue in hot water or warm environment to soften the glue, speed up the movement of glue atoms, and reduce the difficulty of mixing glue (or mix glue directly with warm water, instead of using boiled water, which can be cooled quickly, so as to avoid reaching the freezing point and failing to reach the original glue viscosity).

The process of mixing glutinous rice glue in winter is:

1. Pour the glue into a clean bucket, first stir the glue to the wiredrawing state, and activate the glue atom;

2. Then add clean water equivalent to 20% of the original gum, and stir until the gel is completely wire drawing;

3. Continue to add water equivalent to 20% of the original gum, and continue to stir until the gel is in the form of wire drawing;

4. Add the remaining water and stir until there is no pimple.

In winter, when pasting thick paper or cloth, remember that the glue should not be too thick. The thicker the glue is, the more moisture is, and the slower the drying is. In a room with heating, it is very easy to have cracks. In areas without heating, if the room temperature is lower than 0 ℃, the glue will freeze and form hollowing, which will seriously cause the whole wallpaper to fall off; For non-woven wall cloth such as PVC, it is difficult to construct because it will harden at low temperature, and it is also easy to have edge warping, hollowing and other phenomena after construction. It is recommended to heat locally during construction. For wall cloth with cross cloth bottom, do not construct again if it is lower than 10 degrees, and it is better to do it above 15 degrees.

For the construction during the heating period in the north, because the indoor air is relatively dry, especially the pure paper construction, which is more likely to lead to cracks, it is necessary to spray some water mist into the air before the construction to improve the indoor humidity. After the construction is completed, it is also OK to put basin water close to the heating equipment, or spray some water again and drag it down to increase the indoor humidity.
