Keep in a dry, climate-controlled area (avoid garages/sheds with humidity swings)
If storing vertically, support evenly and prevent leaning
2. Handling:
Lift with care – bamboo is dense and heavier than traditional plywood
Use clean gloves to prevent oil/dirt transfer to the surface
3. Cleaning:
Dust regularly with a microfiber cloth
For spills, wipe immediately with a damp (not wet) cloth
Use mild soap + water for stains (no harsh chemicals or abrasives)
4. Finishing/Sealing:
Essential for high-moisture areas (kitchens, bathrooms): Use polyurethane, epoxy, or marine-grade sealant
Sand lightly (120-150 grit) before finishing for best adhesion
Reapply protective coatings as needed (especially for countertops)
Woodworking Advice:
1. Cutting & Machining:
Use sharp carbide-tipped blades (reduces chipping – bamboo is harder than oak)
Cut slightly slower than with softwoods to prevent burning
Apply masking tape along cut lines for cleaner edges
2. Drilling:
Pre-drill holes for screws/nails (prevents splitting)
Use sharp bits and moderate pressure
3. Joinery:
Biscuit joinery or dowels recommended for edges
Pocket screws work well but avoid over-tightening
For glue-ups, use PVA wood glue (clamp firmly for 30+ mins)
4. Sanding:
Start with 100-120 grit, finish with 180-220
Avoid over-sanding – bamboo has a thin surface veneer
5. Moisture Protection:
Seal all edges (most vulnerable to swelling)
Avoid prolonged water exposure (not suitable for outdoor use unless specially treated)
Pro Tips: ✓ Let panels acclimate 48hrs in your workspace before cutting ✓ Bamboo’s hardness dulls tools faster – keep blades sharp ✓ The light natural color darkens slightly with UV exposure (consider for sunlit areas)
Why Woodworkers Love It:
More stable than traditional plywood (less warping)
Unique vertical or horizontal grain patterns
Eco-friendly appeal for modern designs
