In Indonesia I usually use chemicals, I usually call it soda ash.
For my bamboo drying oven system, and preservation of bamboo I usually use the most simple and successful way, by using naphthalene disks, which are very practical and inexpensive.
Bamboo can last decades years, I can guarantee, please try
Thank you for your support :-) Author
