The cactus juice will affect the acrylic lids for sure! Definitely need glass! The components in cactus juice cause acrylic to spiderweb. I don't know what component that's in it that causes it, but it definitely reacts to the acrylic.

thanks for the video and explanation. looking at bvv kits and there is a recommendation for a cold trap but didn't see or hear why you don't use a cold trap.

@JakeThompson Ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment.. I’ve never used a cold trap.. I just pay attention to the level while the bubbles are coming up.. it’s a good idea to get one for insurance.. I’ve just never done it .

Great instructional Jake. Well done. I do I have 1 question please. I had a long conversation with Curtis of Turn Tex at SWAT last August about different vacuum pumps. Have you ever needed to rebuild any of your pumps? thanks again Jake. 💪💪💪💪💪

@JakeThompson 2 ай бұрын

Thank you Mr. Jim.. I haven’t had any trouble out of my pumps.. The original pump from my original video from years ago is still going strong.

Good video! Do you have your pump going without a stop for 12h if needed? My pump is getting really hot after just 30 min, so i'm worried that it will break if i run it to long. But every video i have seen on YT it seems that the pump is on until the bubbles stops.

@JakeThompson Ай бұрын

Leave the pump on for as long as it takes for the bubbles to stop…

@dbeez1075 2 ай бұрын

Great video Jake. I have started stabilising wood and basically follow the steps you've demonstrated . But my problem is that most of my blanks float after the bubbles have stopped and I've let them stack for another 24 hours. So I start the process again and still they float or are partially submerged. Any idea on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

@JakeThompson 2 ай бұрын

Some of mine will still ll float too.. I think it’s just the wood didn’t take in as much cactus juice.. or maybe better that I say not all pieces of wood are capable of taking in enough to make them not float.. I could be wrong.. I just follow all these steps and after it’s all said and done .. as long as it’s not brittle and doesn’t mess up my resin castings .. it’s all good… I hope this helps
