How To Cure A Wooden Mate Gourd (Without Cracking!)

[@allanjafet]

I did this I love the finishing it did. It looks so awesome

[@yerbamatelab]

Yup! Makes your gourd look 100 times better.

[@TheOliverin]

Not quite. Let the oil reach the inside too, it will wash after use if it's this or butter. It will crack if it has poor quality palo santo, has the knot badly placed, it's too thin... and, as it happened to me, if you start pouring the hot water too soon. I recommend to pour water at room temperature first. This will spoil mates, of course, but eventually we can reach the hot water you use regularly. Additionally, keep it away from exteriors /windows, cold weather will create a sudden temperature shock and crack it. The sound is neat, though.

Great tutorial! I have one wrapped in aluminum. What are the requirements for curing mine? Thank you!

[@MAllen02]

Hi there, I just got a palo santo, and followed your tutorial, so thanks! How is your palo santo holding up?

[@yerbamatelab]

You're welcome! My palo santo is going strong for 2+ years :)

[@MrAlejandro6443]

In my mate appears some green-black stains, is it normal? Thanks and excellent video!

[@yerbamatelab]

Yes. If you cured your gourd with yerba, it's the coloring from the leaves. Some calabash gourds also naturally have some staining. However, if you see some white fuzz on the surface, that's mold.

[@anon-tec3500]

Do you do the inside as well?

[@windycityfutsal332]

Hola tengo una pregunta. compre un mate de madera pero solo venia con instructions de como curar uno que es de calabaza. por menso lo cure con yerba y agua a temperatura mate por 24 hora. después de las 24 hora le saque la yerba y lo raspe con una cuchara. esta bien lo que hice or lo tengo que volver a curar con mantequilla?

[@pabloski4476]

queres tomar mate o queres que tu matero quede tuneado jaajaj

[@dfagrokhatram5053]

Hi! Butter is good? Thank you for help!

[@yerbamatelab]

Hi! Yes, you can use butter. I've never done it myself, but I've heard of others doing it.

[@dfagrokhatram5053]

@@yerbamatelab thank you for the answer!

[@helga_hain]

Wow beautiful!

[@successdrive3686]

Very AMSR, lol

[@bedouinali]

Hey, you just oil exterior surface? Also, no need to add wet mate or hot milk?

[@yerbamatelab]

Yes, just the exterior. Some coat the interior as well but that may affect the taste of your mate. Adding wet yerba isn't necessary. Just a traditional thing to do. I've never heard of hot milk, but I'd assume it affects the taste as well, so I wouldn't recommend it.

[@666partty]

why u guys are drinking mate?? is strange to me see people talking english and drinking mate. more incredible that u are making videos about that too jajja

[@Weezykillah]

It's ok for me, it's cool to see latino-american culture in other countries, it's cool; as cool as people eating sushi. It's ok, man.

[@krisventures6795]

Because with the internet white people like myself are exposed to cool traditional very ritualistic natural ways of doing things. Some of us are tired of buying stuff in cans all the time 🤷‍♂️ Edit:typo

[@666partty]
