Chapter 2: Bamboo Treatment and Storage

In this video, the viewer is taught how to treat bamboo using the modified boucherie method. Treatment is a crucial component of bamboo construction and there are many available techniques, of which the boucherie method is just one possible option. This treatment displaces sugary sap from bamboo with chemical preservative under pressure and has been found to be very successful for community-based construction projects. The treatment must be administered within 24 hours of bamboo felling.

    Is the full 30 litres of solution used up on 5 canes of bamboo? If so it's a lot of borax and boron to use. It's an ingenious system though as the used material can be used on the fields. I am about to try it.

    Does this stop fungie aswell? I just finished my Boucherie treatment system, i´m so happy it really works! i´m using Borax pentahydrate and Boric Acid in a scale 1:10 for Bambusa Oldhamii poles. I would like to sell them with a 20 year guarantee (indoor use) but i´m not really sure its good idea :l Is it?? I´ve invested lots of time and cash. I hope i can trust this method and leave behind imersion and VSD. I will apretiate any reply...

    Read the other posts... The Boucherie method is the most effective, if you follow these 2 rules; the bamboo must be freshly cut (less than 24 hours) and the pressure must be constant (that means that you have a small air compressor with its own air tank, an air regulator to get a constant pressure and after the tank with the boron solution which is maintained at a constant pressure whatever the quantity of solution injected in the culms). So the sugary sap is steadily expulsed from the culm as the the 150 grams solution is far denser than the sap. I counsel you to dye the solution, it makes easier to visualize the process and to give you a proof of treatment By experience I know that 1/10 around 100-110 grs of salts per liter of water is a bit low. 130 to 150 gr of salts give more consistent results against aggressive termites. It makes also the treatment easier. I use Disodium octaborate tetrahydrate, sold cheaply as ordinary boron foliar fertilizer like the brand Foliarel almost everywhere, and sold very expensively as wood treatment like the brands Tim Bor or Bora Care in the States and some other countries. So be wise... If you find octaborate at good price un your country as fertilizer it's far easier to use than the classic mix 60% borax/ 40% boric acid (by weight). The difference of cost is minimal at least in Mexico and Costa Rica. You can give 20 years in indoor use on culms treated with a 150 grams solution. The salts will diffuse everywhere by osmosis. The culms are totally unpalatable to wood borers and fungus. .

    I dont understand. So from one node to the next is a chamber. If how do you get hole into the chamber far stretch from reach?? In other words do you have to make hole anywhere or does the borax solution just break its way down slowly?

We made hole through the culms using steel rid and held the bamboo in an inclined position.The quantity used was 500gms of boric acid and 500gms of borax with 15 litres of water . Idk if thats the proper ratio .also this method costs alot still Just wanted to experiment. How long does it have to be soaked?? If used brouchire method how long does it take to trear a aingle bamboo??

    Hi there! There are a few different methods for treatment, but in general just soaking the bamboo in the treatment will not work - it is essential that the treatment gets into the inside of the bamboo, whether by gravity, pressure or another method.

    No. This method only applies to freshly cut bamboo. The entire process is based on sugar exchange with the chemical. If the bamboo is older than 24 hours, the sugar solution will crystallize in the bamboo. The sugar crystals are difficult to replace and impossible with this method. I am currently building this model with LPG gas cylinders in Kathmandu. (10.23)

    This technique isn't recommended for culms older than 24 hours old. If you don't have a boucherie machine, you can perforate the bamboo and let the borax solution enter the plant using gravity. But the culms still need to be fresh.

    Yes you can soak the bambou during 15 days at least. To be 100 % sure one month You have just to pierce all the nods of each culm with a steel bar, it's a lot of work. To make also a concrete or geotextile pool of the length of the culms and containing at least 100 to 200 culms with thousands of liters of solution, tons of weights to keep the culms down in the solution, a roof over the pool so the rain won't dilute the solution, and you end after taking out the culms to dry with a pool filled with thousands of liters of solution now contaminated by the sugars of the sap. You can re-use it 2 times more after adding borate salts but you'll have to dispose of it. It seems to me that a simple Boucherie pressure system is less expensive than several roofed pools, is portable and more effective as it injects the solution just where needed and displaces the sap containing the sugars...And there is no waste.
