FOR NEW YEAR EVENING

Almost three hundred years ago Peter the great issued a decree “On the celebration of the New year,” which was ordered “by the noble and carriageways streets at the gate and houses inflict some decoration of trees and branches of pine, spruce and juniper”. This custom caught on with us and became very popular. In the forest nurseries of the country annually produces more than ten million specially grown trees. Nurture each tree on the “new” plantations, accounting for at least 10 years.

But here ends the feast. And in the first week of the new year in the courts and in the streets, junked wood beauty. In order not to unnecessarily destroy trees, the industry has mastered the production of a variety of artificial Christmas trees, outwardly differing little from the present. Options homemade Christmas trees offer our readers. Here’s and example, made V. Polyakov from Kostroma tree-lamp.

Material for it is paper with a heat-resistant and electrically insulating properties of cable stamps, phone KTN thickness of 0.12 or 0.17 mm, impregnated with a protective lacquer. As impregnating material can be used water-emulsion varnish brands VTU КУ364-54 and No. 321-T, the organosilicon varnishes EF-3, K-47, K-55, K-57. They all have high fire – and explosion-proof and have good electrically insulating properties. You can also use mica, mica paper, plenkoelektrokarton thickness 0,16, 0,2, 0,3, 0,4 mm or aluminum foil the surface of which is insulated with a thin oxide film with a thickness of 2…4 MK. Oxide insulation heat-resistant, thermally conductive, can withstand a voltage up to 100 V.
