i wish i would have weighed them before dipping
i dont think wieghing them now while wet with resolute would mean much do you?
by the way, all were exact same size
if the sinkers are the denser, less porous of the bunch, it seems like the resolute wouldnt get into the wood as much, displacing air, mositure or whatever, therefore less bubbles rising to the surface. right? or am i backwards here?
the way it explains it in the link i provided is:
the chemical is is a polymer similar to antifreeze and tho it has some of the qualites that other polymers possess none of them have to specific qualities that are unique to the stabilizing compound.
The polymer enters the fine structure of the wood by diffusion,
thus application of pressure is of little
value. The large molecules of the chemical displace
the natural moisture in the microscopic,
lattice-like structure of the wood-fiber walls.
the percent of water(dependent largely on growth conditions and
species) based on the weight of the ovendry wood. This water is (1) contained as free water in the cell cavities and the intercellular spaces of the wood and (2) held as absorbed water in the capillaries of the walls of wood elements, such as fibers and ray cells. The absorbed water relates
to shrinkage. When all of the free water is removed and all of the absorbed water remains, wood has reached the fiber saturation point,approximately 30 percent moisture content for allspecies. Shrinkage occurs only when the moisture content of wood is reduced to some level belowthe 30 percent fiber saturation point. “Partially dry” wood refers here to wood that has not been
dried to a moisture content of 30 percent or less.
The product they are using is called PEG
Mixing PEG Solutions
The two solutions commonly used are 30 and 50 percent PEG by weight. Exactly 4.46 pounds of polyethylene glycol-1000 dissolved in 5 quarts of water yield 7 quarts of 30 percent solution with a specific gravity of 1.05 at 60° F. PEG in pure form is a white, waxlike chemical that resembles
paraffin. A solid at room temperature, PEG melts at 104° F., has an average molecular weight of 1.000, dissolves readily in warm water, is nontoxic,
noncorrosive, odorless, colorless, and has a very high fire point (580° F.).
Ten pounds of polyethylene glycol dissolved in an equal weight of water (about 4.8 qt.) yield about 7.4 quarts of 50 percent solution with a specific
gravity of 1.093 at 60° F. A precision hydrometeraccurate for the desired range of specific gravities will help maintain the proper concentration
of the solution during treatment. PEG does not volatilize at the temperatures
normally used in treating vats, but water does evaporate during long treating cycles, even in covered (but not airtight) vats. Accordingly, it
is usually necessary to replace water lost by evaporation before chemical must be added to make up for that diffused into the wood during
treatment.
They go on about techniques on gun stocks and all sort of application details, info and steps.
From what I'm seeing it sure seems to be as good as the resolute or nelsonite, but its not toxic so you won't have to worry about all the PPE that YOU SHOULD BE WEARING when working with nelsonite or resolute.
Its pretty good amount of info hope its enjoying and helpful to someone.
, what else was i gonna do? was too early to go chase the snake . LOL
