Pyroceram placement

[AlaskanHunter]

I just built a vacuum chamber for stabilizing wood handle scales. Picked up some scraps from a local plastics manufacturer/distributor - 3"x15" clear cylinder & two 1/2" nylon discs - and also grabbed a brake bleeding hand pump from good 'ol Hazard Fraught for ~ $40 altogether. I saw that PC Rot Terminator 50% off at local Fleet Farm.

I couldn't find anything online about using it as a vacuum stabilizing resin, so I'm testing it myself.

I ran 3 vacuum cycles over a two hour period, holding at 25 in. Hg. No indication thus far that it hasn't worked, but I can't machine or sand the sample wood piece (small mahogany block, no rot or burl/figure of any kind) until it's fully cured, which is supposed to be ~1 week.

Uhh... Dude, not only is this a necrothread, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the original intent of the thread. Might want to rethink the post before you raise the ire of the resident curmudgeons. Maybe you should start a new thread? I'd like to hear about your stabilizing setup, but a new thread is probably more appropriate.
