Loctite® Resinol® 90C™

I''s expensive, especially the minimum is 4 gallons and most people DIY want to do it on the cheap.
It is heat cured,not solvent based so it won't dry out until you cook it.
any other recipes you may find are because they are afraid to buy this stuff.

Please be careful. We recently learned of a new operator who died when his shop burned down. The chemicals are volatile and should not be approached with a "cowboy" attitude.

Rob!
 
This is an very old thread that someone has resurrected! There seems to be a lot of that lately!

I have decided that home stabilization is probably not worthwhile! To achive good results the cost outways the materials and equipment needed!

I know that in a tutorial section somewhere Mr. Swanson put together his setup with minwax wood hardener but there was some second guessing as to what resin to use to harden the wood because the minwax stuff turns white when exposed to water. To use the proper resin would be cost prohibitive like previously stated. Good idea but somewhat impractical.
 
Im not looking for the home version, i want to learn how to do this professionally, the right way. Im having trouble finding the process and equipment. Any advice would be nice.

If you really want to do this professionally, contact their technical service reps.
They have ALL the tech and process data
the phone numbers and web addresses are on the bottom of each page.

or

use the search function here, there is a lot of info.
I know what I know because I spent the time looking into it.
Don't take our words for it, find out on your own.

Wow!! that's not good. Do you have any other details or links too share on this? It could be very safety educational for those attempting this. Most of the chemicals and initiators used in a...for lack of better term..."professional" level process are or can be truly dangerous when used outside well controlled environments. Spills and clean up waste for most of these chemicals are legally listed as has-mat issues regulated by local or state or federal agencies for disposal.

EDIT: Once these chemicals have successfully undergone the polymerization phases they are safe in solid form. Always consult and work with the chemical manufacture of choice.
