Precautions for using agate mortar
1. Do not come into contact with hydrofluoric acid.
2. Do not heat or put it in the oven to dry.
3. If there are large pieces or crystal samples, they must be crushed outside and then ground in an agate mortar.
4. Wash the mortar with water after use. If necessary, wash it with dilute hydrochloric acid first, and then rinse it with water. If it is still not clean, add a little salt and grind it for a while, then pour it out and wash it again. If you have to, use a little sea sand. Replace table salt for cleaning
5. It is best not to grind objects that are too hard and have too coarse grains in an agate mortar. to avoid scratching the surface
6. When performing grinding operations, the mortar should be placed on an object that is not easy to slide, and the pestle should be kept vertical. Large solids can only be crushed, not mashed with a pestle, otherwise the mortar and pestle will be damaged or the solids will splash out. Explosive substances can only be lightly crushed and not ground. When grinding substances that are corrosive to the skin, cover the mortar with a thick paper or plastic sheet, make a hole in the center, insert the pestle, and then grind. The amount of solids in the mortar should not exceed its limit. 1/3 of the volume.
