I always admire your perseverance. When a project goes sideways on you, you just keep trying to work through it. I tend to do that too but, after about the 5th time getting covered in blue dye, I definitely would’ve saying “Ok.. yeah I’m done.”😅 Is Cactus Juice the usual way to dye wood or was this an experiment to stabilize the wood and dye it at the same time? Just curious, I’ve never dyed or stabilized wood before. I really hope it turns out exactly how you want it to, you certainly deserve it to! I’ll be rooting for you this next week.😊

[@PohlBarnProductions]

Thank You Funo, this one has temped my Patience to the limits, episode 2 isn't any different, the cactus juice is suppose to harden the wood and you can color it for some great effects, that's if you haven't had it for 3 or so years sitting on the shelf going bad

Have you considered using the pressure pot instead of the vacuum pot when using cactus juice? Air as a fluid is compressible but liquids are not. As the air bubbles are compressed they'll leave lower pressure areas for the liquid to be forced into.

[@PohlBarnProductions]

I have not, but the air will then expand once the valve is open

[@bsharp55]

[@GregCrumbliss]

I hope this turns out for you. I'm really new to all of this so this may be a dumb question. Do you think putting a box over it and running it at high RPMs for a few hours would just sling out all of the old stuff? Then you could put new on and do your hair dryer trick?

Thank You Greg, I don't think that's a stupid question at all and I will probably do just that, thanks for the Idea

Oh man, Doug! That was brutal. You'll be finding memories of this thing forever. I hope you can make it work because I would've bailed a long time ago. But that blank looked so good with that blended colour. If that thing won't cure and liquid is shifting constantly it might never stay true or balanced. I guess we will see as you keep thinking this one through.

[@PohlBarnProductions]

Thank You Jay

[@murphymmc]

That's a bummer hen old resin doesn't set. I had that experience with a cheap resin. Brand new it worked, used the last of it at about a year old, didn't cure, ever. You might try just cranking up the speed and letting centrifugal force move all the wet stuff out. There's only so much stuff in there, right?. Let it spin fast enough, long enough, it will evacuate the liquid.

Why don't you use your pressure pot as a vacuum chamber? Sure you would not be able to see in to it but if you placed the piece in a bucket to catch any boil over you should be fine. Use a slow cure resin, draw a deep vacuum for a few hours then pressurize to 50 psi to force the resin deep into the wood.

[@PohlBarnProductions]

Thank You Leo, for the most part I don't think about it, I really didn't want to stabilize the middle of this wood to put it on the floor, I actually have to purchase the cactus juice myself, lol the resin I will throw on the floor all day long.

Next time you inadvertently use expired Cactus Juice and it won't cure, try wrapping the piece with several layers of paper towel held on with elastic bands and spin it in the lathe to pull the uncured Juice out so the paper towel wears it instead of you...

[@PohlBarnProductions]

I'm just gonna put a box around it and turn it on for a few hours

[@mlatham23]

I don't think this has anything to do with the vacuum chamber. I might soak it again in your new juice and put it back on the easy bake. The cracks are because it is wet and shrinks when parts get dry. Alternatively, soak it in alcohol. That might set it.

[@PohlBarnProductions]

Thank You, the resin cracked, not the wood,

[@mlatham23]

@The Pohl Barn Productions Sorry I didn't watch for your answer. I still think the same cause. But the wood was so porus that it wasn't cracking. But I guess maybe it was just heat damage to the resin. There's nothing like thinking out loud in writing. Anyhow, great finish for this project! I might have chucked it instead of finishing.

[@garypage9545]

You should send this to Ken Moon and let him finish it.

Maybe your should work it in denatured alcohol... And let it down for are least a few hours... That way the alcohol has time to soak in and set up the resin

Just a thought here, maybe if you just set it aside for a few weeks and let it just slow cure like how green wood is slow cured. With summer on the way maybe that will dry it out better.

[@HappilyHomicidalHooligan]

Assuming your large vac chamber lid can't be fixed, have you though of making a new one with a 1 or 1.5 inch thick sheet of acrylic and the fittings off the original lid (assuming they're not the broken bits)... Acrylic shouldn't be that expensive, though I believe it will eventually degrade with exposure to epoxy resin (or was it Cactus Juice that eats it?, I can't remember which) I remember another You Tuber had an acrylic vac chamber lid and it got weakened by whatever they used in their projects (Cactus Juice and/or Epoxy Resin) and started to crack like crazy, though their lid was a half inch thick or less... If you're willing to fork out the cash, Lexan would allow you to use a MUCH thinner lid without sacrificing strength and I think it shouldn't be damaged by Cactus Juice or Epoxy Resin so it should last longer...the thicker you make the lid, the longer it should last of course...

[@PohlBarnProductions]

It's the cactus Juice that makes it crack, I have not looked into all that I just purchased a chamber for smaller things from Turntex

[@HappilyHomicidalHooligan]

@@PohlBarnProductions You may want to look into it...a large vac pot would make doing a project with air-trapping fillers (pine cones, ribbons, metal shavings etc.) a lot easier to make sure have few/no bubbles... Thick Acrylic isn't all that expensive compared to Plexiglass and Lexan and if you leave the protective plastic film on the side facing the pot, it might even keep the Cactus Juice from eating it...or at least slow it down anyway... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣

I hope you managed to clean your face shield. Honestly no idea what to suggest but I hope you manage to finish the project. I guess you could cut it with your band saw & put the different pieces in the gas chamber?
