The herring stone is a common decorative stone, but it is easy to crack, especially in the process of processing. The following are some methods to prevent the herring stone from cracking:
1. Preheating: Before using herring stone, put it into the oven for preheating. This helps to remove moisture from the inside of the stone, thereby reducing the risk of cracking.
2. Slowly heating: When processing herring stone, slowly heating can reduce the thermal stress, thus reducing the risk of cracking. Don't heat it to high temperature at once.
3. Keep wet: When handling herring stone, keep the stone wet to reduce the risk of cracking. You can use a water spray or soak in water.
4. Use appropriate tools: use appropriate tools can reduce the damage to herring stone. For example, when using a drill bit, use low speed and high coolant concentration.
5. Avoid alternating cold and hot: avoid putting the herring stone into cold water immediately after taking it out of hot water, which will cause thermal stress and cracking.
In conclusion, temperature, humidity, tools and other factors should be paid attention to when handling herring stone to reduce the risk of cracking.
