I’m curious what the thoughts of someone working with epoxy regularly are about the idea of coating a standing tree in epoxy. I have a set of trees that grew intertwined to reach a pretty good height. One of the trees then died unfortunately, and I have been wondering if there was any way to possibly preserve it bc it looks really interesting wrapped together with the living tree. This is a very early stage idea. I suppose the other possibility would be to take the dimensions and build a copycat sculpture around where the dead tree was after having it removed.

Very helpful. Thank you

This sounds like an infomercial. Do you have a business relationship with the manufacturer? I.e., sponsorship or marketing deal? Did you get the product for free in return for this “review”?

Is finish prepping the bare wood with 220 too coarse?

Would this work with metal that is in hot temperature like an engine bay or bbq pit

I used linseed oil with beeswax on the wood around my hot tub outdoors. 5 yrs later I’m doing it again but probably could go another 5 it’s so effective.

Thanks!

It’s just phosphoric acid and hand sanitizer. Don’t waste your money

Can I add a stain before I use linseed oil? As long as the stainer is also oil based? Or will the linseed oil not work?

Throw in a bit of oil poly and it will really strengthen it up.

Very Helpful. Thanks.

👍THANK YOU 🎨

Trying to treat the 2x4s I used as the framework to my chicken coop. I should have bought treated...I know. Is linseed oil a good way to preserve the 2x4s?

Hello not my native language what is the elbow grease and where do I buy it from store? Many thanks

That solution (vinegaroon) is also great for dyeing leather black.

Brushing on a concentrated solution of instant coffee before using the vinegar solution will give an even darker tone to the wood. Not as necessary with oak (higher tanic acid content), but really helps darken pine or poplar.

this is just ebonizer? i use this to make black leather usually you'd add a tannin to the wood such as walnut dye (or start with an already darker wood) and this will result in the wood turning pitch black like a piano. the issue i have with this video is that it is entirely possible for someone to follow your steps, and end up with pitch black wood instead of an aged look, on top of that it doesnt really look aged, its just darker and more red, with one piece going slightly blackish. you show 4 solutions but dont tell us whats the difference (or ive just missed it), is it more/less ageing or more/less added vinegar? im not sure why you didnt just present the video as a video on ebonizers and instead present it as an ageing solution? it feels dishonest. i apologise for the negative comment, i wish you the best of luck

I wonder if it’s the tannins in the wood reacting with the iron oxide in the vinegar solution?

Just one is enough?

I accidentally got some on my thumb and washed it off within 40 seconds. Should I be concerned?

Had some light surface rust on the door. This actually removed the rust in like 60 seconds. Almost instantly. Works really well!

I always found it interesting that the product specifies that it shouldn't be used in gaps wider than 4 inches, but you and other reviewers all seemed to have no problems insulating a standard wall.

Hi. Can you polyurethane afterwards? Thanks.

I just purchased an old fashioned bread box from an estate sale for 50 cents! After sanding off the light varnish it had and years of crud, I've decided this will be my experimental Linseed oil project. Not a table top so it won't be exposed to harsh influences. I'm hoping for the best to protect my homemade bread. Thanks for your instruction.

Didn't even know a product like this existed! I'm still going to call in the pros on my 1100 sq. ft. shop space, but this would be amazing for the little 150 sq. ft. shed I want to renovate and turn into a useable space! Liked, subbed! Thanks for this video! Now to watch some others. :D

Great stuff, seems cheap and easy to do.

Change Insulting to insulating. If you want.

Dude i just came here from your linseed video! Im subscribing! Fuckin great

I just found you while researching linseed oil and its uses. Super good quality video man thanks for the content

I am using this Rust Dissolver right now. It's expensive but I like that it's a gel and 50% water since the chemical reaction uses up water. It's not too strong to CREATE rust (I hope). hahaha. I have used the cheaper 80% phosphoric acid "etching" gallon but it's too strong and flash rusts the metal.

Thanks for this video! What's the difference between Spar Urethane and Polyurethane? Is there a reason to use Poly instead of Spar?

"Natural river".... 😂😂😂😂

a natural river... of course :D

*sniff* I smell ... A talented, but underrated artist

Congratulations on your success 🎉

Thanks!

Love these colors

Beautiful!

Yes

I present to you the tripomatic...

perfect for hiding drugs, yes ill take it

Admittedly I only use it for tool and axe handles, but I get my best results as follows. One part boiled linseed oil to one part turpentine substitute. I brush it on until the wood has stopped soaking it up. I repeat this process every day for a week. I give it plenty of time to dry out, then wipe with a dry cloth. I am fairly reserved with how much I use. Enough to thoroughly wet the wood, but not so much its dripping or literally pooling. Just brush on enough to soak into the wood, with extra at the end grain as this tracks in fast. Repeat the process either for 7 days or until the wood literally doesnt absorb any more. Its actually a fantastic wood treatment because it kind of "plasticises" and adds strength to the wood fibre.

It has phosphoric acid which actually etches galvanized metal. Unless you're painting galvanized steel, phosphoric acid will partially remove galvanizing on metal.

Just a random question, but do you think the ultimate spar urethane water based is safe to use for planter boxes? Just wondering.

Looks good! What size carport is that?

Those 4x4 in the concrete are gonna rot out quick

Just a few tips. There is moisture barrier that is supposed to go between the treated lumber and concrete it's very cheap and a must. Ordering your concrete in a cement truck is worth it and not much more cost wise. If it was me I'd just frame the workshop as lumber is very cheap now. I just built a 1260 sqft addition for 10k that's framed and sided and roofed.
