Stabicure Wood stabilisation

Stabicure Resin is a water-thin, transparent resin used to stabilise wood, bone, leather, antler and other more or less porous materials. By impregnating the material with Stabicure Resin, it will no longer absorb moisture, splinter or age or discolour. Stabicure Resin is harmless, both during processing and while using the stabilised product.

The Stabicure process is easy to perform and gives professional results. This makes this material a must for woodturners, knife makers and other hobbyists and professionals who work with wood and other natural materials in a detailed manner. Professional impregnation with Stabicure Resin requires a vacuum pump with vacuum chamber. Curing of this material is done by heat.

Stabicure is similar to the American Cactus Juice Resin.

Directions for use

You can stabilise materials with Stabicure if you follow these steps:

1. Make sure the material to be impregnated is completely dry. Place it in an oven until the material no longer loses weight.
2. Immerse the object in a mixing cup filled with Stabicure. Make sure the object disappears completely under the liquid. If necessary, use metal wire to keep the object there.
3. Place the mixing cup in a vacuum chamber and turn on the vacuum pump. Now bubbles will come out of the object. The bubbles rise to the top.
4. Once all the bubbles are gone, the vacuum is lifted. Now the Stabicure liquid will soak into the object.
5. Check regularly whether the object is completely saturated by weighing it at regular intervals.
6. If the object is fully saturated, place it in an oven to harden. Stabicure hardens at temperatures of +80°C to +100°C in approximately 10 minutes*. It is important to let the Stabicure harden completely in one go, without intermediate cooling.

*Please note: start timing when the entire object has reached the desired temperature. For single pen blanks this is approx. 1 hour, for larger objects this can take up to 2-3 hours. So to be on the safe side, take a margin, so that the stabilisation does not fail.
