My dad mae a pressure pot for stabilizing acrylics etc........ he made alot of control knobs for his control systems........ sadly he has passed on but I do have his journals he was soo methodical. I'll look it up as I'm sure he did a write up. I do know he used and old pressure cooker and brass plumbing parts with a plexiglas viewing screen cut into the lid

Wood Juice & Stabilizers | Preservation Solutions Sorry check the read lable.

 

[Jim]

Ah, so it more for sealing the wood than stabilizing it ...

 

[bellringer]

Well it was worth checking it might be worth posting on the international pen turners association fourm to see what they use

 

[turnaround360]

I'm getting closer to the answer but it will be try and see its based on methacrylate monomers I'm lead to believe.

Jim here's my set up just need some chemical.
by the way the glove has a mind of its own.

 

[Jim]

That is how it should be Frankie, nice and simple ... I left a question on the Turn Tex website regarding his Juice, but not heard back from him ... :
