    Cool Homemade Vacuum Chamber- recommendations for products

    So I have my vacuum chamber set up and working, I am pulling and holding 25-27 in/hg and getting the effect I am after, but I am looking for people that have Stabilized Wood themselves for recommendations of products that have worked...

    I have tried Daly's and the standard Minwax Wood hardener, and they do work but I am looking for an even harder more substanial set up...

    Has anyone tried Polyurethane????

    What about the "Wipe on Poly" that sets up pretty hard

    Oil finishes like Teak, Danish, Tung ????

    ArmorCoat ????


    Please tell me about stuff that has worked for small wood projects, that you have actually used yourself, I have used Google just fine to search, but I would rather hear from fellow razor guys


    Thanks in advance

    Pickle Jar.....?
    Please tell me that you have it covered with a screen/hardware cloth safety cage
    when you pull a vacuum. Glass is strong but one day a scratch and ka-whump you
    have an implosion with flying glass. It may never break but....

    Wonder if a two QT canning jar (mason,Kerr) might me a better option,may be stronger.

    I actually just placed it inside a Tuperware container when I first pulled the vacuum because of all the warnings I had read about,, Oddly enough, I read about warnings in near ever thread on every forum yet never found a pic or even read about one actually imploding

    Don't you want to use Pressure rather than Vaccuum ?
