Amazing! 👌😃
Thanks😁
Ah very handy thank you I never baked my wood after the first soak I assumed that would stop the second soak from penetrating but it seems not!
Thank you kindly for watching 👍
Hi, great video well detailed. Do you leave the vacuum pump ON for the full duration when sacking all the air out of the wood? Or just like the pressure pot once it gets to the desired level switch off and leave as it is?
Thank you.
I will leave it on for a good while but then I will switch it off and check every hour or so and if need be I'll switch it on to get it wherein needs to be.
@@CasualDIY Thanks,really appreciate your reply 😀
this is an excellent well made video, i plan to use this method and turn some bowl and vases in my videos!
Thank you kindly 👍
Great video. Thanks for sharing the information in an easy to understand way!
Glad it was helpful!
Świetna robota !!
Dzieki wielkie
Very clear
👍
Superb... Wish I was a woodman then I would create some stunning stuff
Everyone can be a woodman😁👍
good video, thanks, I hope to see the cutting inside.
Thank you kindly.
Very good video. Concerning the color tinted resin: Is the shelf life the same as the untinted CJ? I ask because the remaining amount will be small by volume and must be stored in a separate container. Correct?
Yes I store dyed cactus juice separately. From my experience yes, it seems to be similar shelf life. But that's just my observation. Nothing scientific to prove that unfortunately.
Cool video
Thank you very much 👍😁
Thank you Thomas
Thank you for watching 👍
Awesome tutorial, thank you. I have a vacuum pump, but am looking for a good chamber setup. Can you link to this one that you used here? I see many similar ones on ebay, but am nervous to pull the trigger due to lack of reviews.
Thank you.
My vacuum chamber is the cheapest I could get with acrylic lid. I would not recommend it to anyone. It's OK for my use and had no incidents as yet but for sure it's not the best option. If you want to get to this seriously or even for own use I would only recommend vacuum chambers with glass lids. Just do a search on Google as I don't own a chamber with glass lid I can't really recommend anything.
Sorry I could not be more help.
Szerbusz Tamás . egy kérdésem lenne Magyarországon hogy lehet hozzájutni a gyantához amit használsz ?
Wow!! Very interesting video. Love how they came out
Thank you kindly 😁👍
Have you done any guitar tops using this method? It looks insane and the possibilities endless.
Unfortunately not, but yes the possibilities are only limited by imagination 👍
How big is your vacuum pot? And very nice video!
Thanks, my vaccum pot is 5 gallons 👍😁
I have a question, what wood species do you think give the greatest repeatability and still look amazing? Of course, you can put a beech but it will look like ordinary plastic.
ps. very nice video
Any burls will look awsome due to the grain orientation but each pice may give you different results. They may be similar but not the same.
Hi where did you buy your vacuum pot from ?
Great video as ever really enjoy watching your Ch
I bought the cheapest set - vacuum and pot - I could find on Ebay. It still works with no issues but if I were to buy another one I would invest in one with glass lid.
@@CasualDIY yes I'm thinking glass lid just to be on the safe side
Can you remember what size your vacuum pot is?
Oh and thanks for the quick reply 👍
Hi tomaz what do you do for your job, is it wood working based? You've done some nice bits
Lol I'm a transport manager that's my full time job. And my education is even further from woodworking. But you know what they say it's never too late to change and do what you love doing 👍 and thank you. There will be more in the future and some of them for sale as well👍
@@CasualDIY great work, do you plan on making anything from them
@@christophergraham1857 not sure yet to be honest got few ideas it all depends on what I will have the time 😁👍
Hi Tomasz, how hard does this wood become? If you stabilize a cutting board this way, would the wood not be able to chip when someones using a hatchet against it?
It becomes very hard. But not bullet proof if you know what I mean. I would not recommend this prices to be used on any wood that would come in contact with food. The reason you would use an end grain cutting board is that it will not dull your knife so quickly.
@@CasualDIY Thank you Tomasz, excellent video.

Hi. Thanks for the information. I’m building an outdoor chair made of Western Red Cedar. I’m thinking about curing it with Cactus Juice instead of a standard finish.
Would I cut and sand all the pieces prior to curing? Does the process warp wood? Planks about 1” x 4” x 3’ or so. My thought is to get every piece ready for assembly, including holes where needed, and then putting them through the process. I just worry about warping the pieces out of shape.
Also, can I mix a cedar stain in with the CJ? Or stain them prior to curing?
I’d appreciate your advice.
Thanks,
Paul
Well I have to say not had a question like that before. You know you have to fully submerge the wood in cactus juice then put it in a vacuum chamber and then bake it? It's either a very small chair or you got a massive owen and a huge vacuum chamber 😅 . If we are talking about normal sized chair then you will need gallons of cactus juice and that will cost you a small fortune. The wood needs to be bone dry, close to 0% of moisture. So the drying process ( in the owen) may lead to wood warping .
All that aside I would not recommend using this as a finish in any way shape or form. When you follow the cactus juice stabilization process then what you get is a very hard, dence material that will be more brittle. Not suitable for furniture making.
@@CasualDIY Thanks. That’s what I figured.
Where did you get that vacuum pump and chamber?
Got it off eBay, cheapest I could find to be honest
Sir did you vaccum 6 hours continuously or you vaccum one time when bubbles out from resin, please guide
Vacuum on until no bubbles are showing then I turn the pump off but leave the pot under the vacuum
@@CasualDIY sir your mean continue vaccum pump on until when bubbles vanished on resin,after seen when no bubbles in resin pot,off the vaccum pump but not released vaccum air of vaccum container, and leave the vaccum container with vaccum without release vaccum air and switch off pump, for 6 hours ,am i right or wrong
The second piece is the nicer blank, people love the more natural golden wood colour,
Yes it all depends on what are people's preferences 👍
How deep does the dye stain can you do bigger pieces ?
In this case it went through the whole thickness, right to the core. You can but the results will depend on many factors and two pieces of the same board during the sane process may give different results.
Does the wood need to be completely dry before the first dye process?
Yes
Can you do it with a pressure cooker?
I don't think so
powiedz mi jak mają sie testy stablicowanego drewna w wodzie? powinno pływać czy tonąć ? stablicowałem orzecha amerykańskiego dwa dni cyklicznie załączając pompę co 1 h i po dwóch dniach nie było śladu powietrza i zapobiegawczo potrzymałem jeszcze dzień 3 w próżni. I wygrzewałem 5 h w piekarniku
Nie mam pojecia, jak mam już ustabilizowane drewno to trzymam je jak najdalej od wszelkiej wilgoci 🤣 bo to do żywicy zazwyczaj idzie. Zważ kawałek drewna przed stabilizacjia jak jest suche i później po stabilizacji. Powinno byc dużo cięższe.
@@CasualDIY dużo cięższe od pierwsze wagi to zazwyczaj duża jest różnica?
@@paweldworski4888 tak dość duza choc to zależy od gatunku drewna, niektóre wpiją więcej żywicy bo są bardziej porowate inne mniej. Ale różnica wagi jest zawsze łatwo zauwazalna
Toaster ovens draw alot of power. 4 hours wow.
I would use a smoker ?
You can do if you got one👍
I dont understand, how many time we use the vaccum ?
It all depends. You can use is with every colour or just with the last one. All depends what effects you want to achieve. Best way to experiment and see what works best for you👍
@@CasualDIY thanks for thr awnser
Hi
I'm sure you're telling you important information
I am so sorry I could not fully understand because my English is not good. I need the answers to my questions below in writing.
I am writing from istanbul turkey you will have 4 questions
1. For each color, the paint impregnation process is outside and in the boiler, it should be waited separately for how many hours.
2. How many hours should it wait in the stabilizing liquid in the vacuum boiler?
3. How many hours are left in the oven each time and how many degrees the temperature should be.
4. What are the important points that I should be especially careful about.
Your answers are very precious for me
Thank you very much for your help
Czym można to zabezpieczyć aby ładnie wyglądał kolor na drewnie po stabilizacji i później łatwo można to obrócić np na rękojeść
Lakierem w sprayu 👍
@@CasualDIY hmm a wałkiem nałożyć można lakier ?
@@paweldworski4888 Można, zależy jaki material. Jeśli czeczota to lepiej w sprayu bo wtedy dokladnie pokryje wszystkie nierówności. Jeśli prosty kawałek drewna to można walkiem
@@CasualDIY drewno orzech amerykański- drewno w żywicy jak jest stabilizowane zawsze opadnie, czy też będzie unosić się?
@@paweldworski4888 jak już będzie proces stabilizacji w próżni ukończony nie powinno raczej wypływać na powierzchnię bo drewno powinno być nasączone zywica i być dużo cięższe niż przed procesem
Hi,
so you only use resin..no hardener?
This is called Cactus Juice Resin. Initially it comes with two parts, the hardner is mixed with the resin when opened for the first time. The resin cures under temperature treatment. That's why you put it in the oven 👍
@@CasualDIY Thanks! So when i use different Resin, i use it like the normal way with hardener right?!
@@steffh9683 yes but not for stabilisation. It's a total different process and type of resin
@@CasualDIY I just saw, there are some "stabilization dyes"..do i have to use them, or can i use normal dye like for example from alumilite?
@@steffh9683 I'm not sure if normal dyes will work with cactus juice to be honest. You may need to shoot a question to the manufacturer
Why not just put the wood in the dye and directly into the vacuum chamber instead of letting it soak AND THEN baking it and then putting it into the vacuum chamber?
It seems I get better dye penetrative that way👍
I don't have cactus juice can i use ordinary epoxy
Unfortunately no.
@@CasualDIY thanks
Because is not like water, more like honey
@@EverynyanSan thanks
When you say 'White Spirits' do you mean Mineral Spirits?
Witam czy jest możliwość uzyskania szczegółów odnośnie stabilizacji?
Prosze przejrzeć moje filmiki cały proces tam jest pokazany👍
@@CasualDIY dzięki za szybką odp.ciekawe realizacje z tą stabilizacja drewna. Możesz może polecić gdzie można zgłębić temat stabilizacji? Mam troszkę drewna orzecha włoskiego i amerykańskiego oraz dębu. Jakie twoim zdaniem są częste błędy dla początkujących?
@@paweldworski4888 temat rzeka i raczej w komentarzu nie da się tego ogarnąć. Polecam Zac Higgins jest świetny jeśli chodzi o wszystko z zywica. Ma bardzo dobry kanał na RUclips 👍
@@CasualDIY dzięki za info:)
Jeżeli chodzi o dosuszanie drewna A potem po stabilizacji wygrzewanie to w czym najlepiej to robić w mikrofali czy w kuchence ?
Ha ja
I need a 24x14 chamber for my body guitarr and. Wahoo
Im rich!!
Great video 🖒 I'm wondering who the miserable git is who gave it a thumbs down. Shame on you
Everyone got a right to an opinion and I respect that. Would be better if he gave me feedback so I could improve but there you go. Thank you for your support😁👍
It doesn't necesarilly mean they didn't like it. Just not there cup of tea and don't want youtube bombing them with stabilizing videos.
Sorry . Are you from Poland ?
Yes I am 👍

Working with green wood......
Hehe after the dye it's beautiful and green 😁
You should check out Jake Thompson too, hes a resin Guru :D
I know him in person 😁👍 his work is fantastic
Tequila, cactusjuice?
Lol no 😁
I like the coloring and everything, however you’re not stabilizing the wood. You’re only soaking the outside layers and any crevices that the liquid can go into. To stabilize it you have to fully submerge the wood and put it into a vacuum chamber where it sucks the bubbles out, replacing them with resin.
Have you watched the video?
09:06 time stamp
@@CasualDIY aha! Now I feel stupid lol. I’m not sure how I missed that part. Sometimes the RUclips app on my phone skips moments randomly, so I guess it must’ve been that. Well in that case I apologize, you did everything great! I’ll make sure to rewatch the video to relearn more about your vacuuming process.
@@_N_B_0496 no problem 😊
