Stabilizing Wood With DIY Vacuum Pump

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Wood stabilizing is the process of injecting resin in wood by evacuating all the air present inside the wood via vacuum. Doing this create a stable and hard wood that is not affected by moisture.
Vacuum chamber built in this video:
• DIY Vacuum Pump And Ch...
And pid oven built in this other video:
• DIY Heat Treatment Oven
I bought the stabilizing resin here:
Cactus Juice: goo.gl/6M2odZ
100Term: goo.gl/2VirBw
I don't have any affiliation with brisa.fi but they offer a nice and fast service. Highly suggested for Europe supply!
Index of operation and materials:
0:20 Wood weigh before stabiliziation
0:35 Checking moisture content, needs to be as close to 0% as possible
1:05 Drying wood with pid controlled oven. 12 hours at 105°C (221°F)
1:50 Taking wood out of the oven before it cools down and placing it inside a sealed container so it does not absorb moisture
2:04 Leave wood to cool for couple hours, now moisture is very low.
2:31 Weighting down wood pieces with steel so they don't float in the stabilizing resin
2:40 Completely covering in stabilizing resin
3:08 Slowly raising vacuum to prevent excessive bubbling
3:47 Taking to maximum vaccum and holding it for 4 hours or untill bubble stop rising
4:14 Slowly releasing vacuum. Wood needs to be left soaking inside the stabilizing resin after releasing vacuum. (I left overnight 12 hours)
4:32 Packing each piece individually in aluminum foil
5:07 Lefover resin can be collected and used over and over
5:22 Curing resin (stabilizing resin activates with heat) 2 hours at 95°C (203°F)
6:27 Scraping excess resin
Thanks a lot for watching, I hope you liked the video!

    If you add a Tee and a valve, you can relieve vacuum on the pump, in case you have to start it, it won't have to start under load. It was hot as hell this summer and the air couldn't keep up. As such, stabilizing wasn't an option using Cactus Juice or the equivalent, because it starts to cure in hot weather. As an experiment, I used specialty hardening oil finishes. Specifically, Daly's Profin and Seafin. My results were great, though not quite the same as you'd get with the juice. Some items doubled in weight and even thin end grain items because usable for things like knife scales. Simply sanding a cured item and buffing it produced results that would pass for a finished item. However, I only did that to see what the end product looked like.

    Wenge is similar to Indian rosewood, in that it is hard as hell, but has open grain, which is why it took on more weight. Theoretically, if this treatment was done on softwood such as pine, it would end up as strong as hardwood(?)
