Flame Curing of Bamboo Poles

I'm flame curing my bamboo poles. Do I have to remove the nodes inside?


Best Answer:

No you do not need to perforate or remove the nodes but you should drill small holes just above the nodes (from the outside of the poles) so the hot steam can escape. Otherwise the bamboo poles may explode when applying heat.
