Parafin Coats Earthen Pots To Protect Window Sills
Instructions describe heating paraffin in a saucer, melting it in an oven, then dipping the pot bottoms to saturate pores. The cooled coating forms a water resistant barrier to prevent water marks on window sills.
Wood moisture balance with the surrounding atmosphere
Any uncoated wood will exchange moisture with its surroundings until the wood's moisture content matches the ambient humidity. This natural process causes gradual equilibration as humidity levels in the air and wood become similar.
