A very important note on this!! YOU MUST NOT USE A PLEXI GLASS LID when doing this with Cactus Juice!! Only use a GLASS PRESSURE TANK LIDs!! If you use Plexi Glass, the Cactus Juice will eat your Plexi Glass surface. What I did, was to get a cheap "Glass Dome Cooking Pot Lid" that is large enough to cover the plastic bucket inside your vacuum tank pot. Take the knob OFF the Cooking Pot Glass lid and put the dome glass lid UPSIDE DOWN over your plastic bucket to keep any Cactus Juice splashes OFF your pressure tank lid. The cooking pot glass dome being upside down will force any drips to run back into your bucket with your Cactus Juice. This will save your Plexi Glass Pressure Lid from the Cactus Juice eating and marring your Pressure take lid to where you cannot see through it. When this happened to mine, I had to sand my Pressure lid and pour a new surface layer of clear counter top resin on it to make it see through again. So remember, if your Pressure Tank lid is Plexi Glass, you MUST put a glass cooking pot glass dome upside down on the inner bucket to keep Cactus Juice splashes from getting on your Pressure tank lid. Did photos but can't load here. Just get a cheap, 4-8 qt. cooking pot with a domed glass lid and take the handle off. Make sure the pot lid will be wide enough to cover the inside bucket you use. Use a plastic bucket inside your pressure tank. Even though Cactus Juice wipes out, it still leaves a residue layer in your tank and can conflict with other chemicals, especially resin based chemicals. Don't use a bare tank for your chemicals. Always use a plastic bucket. It saves your equipment and your work from cross contamination.

Do your slabbing first for better penetration and faster air removal? Cooking the slabs then would also be more thorough.....no chance the middle of the rocks doesn't cure?

Hi, Great video! Thanks for the instruction. I have some fossilized stone that I slabbed and is very porous. Will cactus juice fill the voids on the surface of the slabs or should i use something like opticon or another resin to coat the slabs with after the cactus juice procedure just to give the slab a smooth surface after I'm done?

If you have a porous rock is there any benefit for dropping the atmosphere twice?
@thelapidarychannel47703 жыл бұрын
Its not a bad idea to do actually, I do it on materials that are really porous just to be sure but I honestly can't say if it makes a difference or not since I usually do it just to be sure

Mem, in your opinion which is best for gemstone fracture filling ,opticon or cactus juice.

PLEASE CLARIFY - Is your beautiful material actually 'obsidian'? You call it 'glass', but also said that it was 'dug from (the earth) W. Virginia'. In my experience, most 'glass' is man-made, but obsidian is very similar but made by nature and dug from the earth. Appreciate this valuable video - Thx.

I'll clarify: no, it's def 100% NOT obsidian. It's cullet/slag glass
