Thank you Rich :-)

Yes took me a while to get all the equipment together as its very expensive. Many thanks :-)

Thank you Paul :-)

Thank you Ron :-)

Thank you Graeme :-)

Thank you David :-)

Thank you alan, yes it should be better to turn now. :-)

Paul Lockwood It truly can be used up until 6 months of mixing the two parts together. Cactus Juice does have a shelf life of 6 months, and can be used over and over until heat activated.

Thank you Paul yes this one is narrow i could fit a box blank in no bother yes would need the bigger one to do a small bowl, you can get bags for bigger projects i understand. Once activated the cactus juice lasts 8 to 12 months so you get a lot of use from one container as it can be used over and over. :-)

If i remember right it was soaked around an hour. Thank you :-)

Thank you Rob :-)

Hi Glen im not sure its still active but sure give it a go :-) www.metalclay.co.uk/ One per person discount code HB1017 On all resin, dyes and powders.

Hi rob these were cactus juice dyes but can also use alumilite dyes which work great :-)

I'm thinking I can use artisan dyes which are alcohol based, I want to start playing today lol Thanks again Pam Rob

Hi Ron i just went for a cheap toaster oven on amazon i will link it for you :-) amzn.to/2RqOBw0

Hey John no Alumilite colours work great as well :-)

Haha hopefully by the end of January :-)

Im no expert but i think it would loose vacuum as air comes out of wood :-)

@@Highlandboxes it shouldn’t, the air is already in the chamber it’s just moving from on place to another. I’m probably wrong so I’ll have to give it a try 😀

Thank you Ronald chess set going well hope to get the next video up over next few weeks :-)

Yeh i have watched that video, and i cant understand why they do that at all i think its strange lol i wouldnt stabilise the resin part. :-)

yeah kinda strange.. :p haven't seen anyone else do that in any tutorial too..

@@hiba my opinion is its in there to trick us they are a very secret company and dont want other to follow :-)

haha

seus corantes de suco de cacto. Obrigado :-)

Oi sim deveria funcionar :-)

Eles são corantes de suco de cacto. Suco de cacto é o que eu uso para estabilizar a madeira. :-)

Thank you :-)

Make sure the wood is really dry also if the wood is really dense it won’t penetrate it. I dry my wood in oven overnight at about 80c once vacuumed and all bubbles gone leave to soak for a few days

@@Highlandboxes i was put the oven around 28hours on 90c. Started 195g went down 155g it was absolutly dry probably.I was put the vacuum chamber around 24-26hours.Oven again 100c 90minutes. When i finished with stabilizing the color was nice when i was taken off from oven the color was dull.I thougght no problem i will polishing..but when i cut i have seen..o.oo..something wrong because not colored everywhere. How do i know that the color everywhere in the wood? Wasnt enought the 26hours in the resin? I was reading lots of comment and i watched million yt video but couldnt find same question. I would like to make " bicska"(hungarian traditional knife)i want to make colored knifehandle to my brother thats why i asked. Thank you for your help.

@@14magyar88 If you want only one color, then you may dye it in an alcohol dye and then dry it and stabilize in transparent resin.

in general, alcohol dyeing penetrates more than resin dyeing

Hi Howard i didnt soak them long about 45 min each colour. :-)

Highlandboxes Thanks for the info Pam. Love the channel. Keep up the good work.

No it’s just the name :-)
