in the process of enriching myself with info on doing the right thing ,
it been proven very hard to have access to Real product which make knife making easier for me .
i have access to a chemical store near my area which allow me to get my hand of tons of stuff ,
but when i try to hard to find a commercial wood stabilizer i can;pt even find anything for almost one week .
so this thread , stared in hope that i can Brew up my own wood stabilizer recipe ..
one recipe i heard is .. 1.1
RESIN ( 2% catalyst) + ACETONE ( 10%)
can anyone verify this ?
another one i read is Boiling the wood and the using newspaper ( no color type ) wrap it up and let it dry for 3 month .
someone said about using wood glue mix with 50 % water and dip the wood in for 3-7 days ,and if it show sign of crack dip it again .
.Troop - recipe

.Troop - recipe
use a 20% weight to volume mixture of Acryloid B-72 to acetone, and if the wood is very soft, like buckeye burl, I'll throw in a little Minwax Wood Hardener.
anyone ?
