I was looking online at the set ups that are used for stabilizing, maybe I didn't see the right website, but they didn't look right.
Basically, a tube like this with sanitary ends, with the clamp on ends, one with a valve connected to vacuum pump.
Have a trough inside holding the oil, put the scales inside next to trough, close it up, suck down the pressure, let the temp raise back up (or actively heat it), and then tip it over to spill oil over scales.
Let it soak in, relieve the pressure, soak some more, and your done!
Does that sound right?

I think maybe I'm over complicating it.
Best just to get a cheap starter kit, put the wood in, suction it down until the bubbles stop..
Any picks of your systems?
Is it better just to send out to someone with the set up and skills already?“You must unlearn what you have learned.”

Thanked: 4827That has been my approach Mike. I had a vacuum pump from past jobs already, so I just ordered a small container. If I had budget for tools right now I might order a stronger vacuum pump. Mine struggles to get 25 inmg and the better ones will do 30. There is tons of information on dying and stabilizing wood.

I have a hard time seeing a hand pump doing the job. I've worked with vacuum pumps, high and low pressure systems big and small.
But seeing the info online, it looks like it can be done very cheaply, except the vac pump would be the biggest purchase.
Maybe the hand pump would be sufficient, but Rez did he got to 25, that's not too much under 30, and he said it may not have been enough.
What do those hand pumps pull?“You must unlearn what you have learned.”
