Because there is a layer of waxy substances on the surface of the gourd, they will affect the coating and coloring of the gourd, so they need to be scraped off in advance. When peeling, it is recommended to use bamboo chips to scrape the whole gourd from the top to the bottom in one direction

2. Washing and drying: the waxy gourd can not be directly put into a ventilated place to dry, but should be washed in cold water with a small amount of soda powder. Water must use cold water, not water with too high temperature, otherwise its surface will be damaged. After washing, hang it in a cool and breathable place and let it dry
