Stabilizing services

[Hippie3180]

I'm wondering if there is anyone on her who provides stabilizing services and how much it cost per blank or how it's charged/per batch?

Hi Michele,

K&G Finishing Supplies - Stabilizing does provide this service. They charge by weight AFTER STABILIZATION.

Disclaimer: I have no personal experience with them, but have heard great things from multiple sources.

Kate has my vote. I use the exact same system she does and if her results are as good as mine using Cactus Juice then she's got you covered. Good luck.

I didn't realize that you stabilized for others. That is cool and good to know.

I didn't realize you guys provide stabilization service...

I posted a thread a little while about about silver dye stabilization. I found a very rare blank some years ago of a silver dyed maple burl. It was an amazing blank, and whatever dye was used penetrated all the way. I don't know if it was double-dyed...some parts of the burl are very dark, but maybe that is just a density thing. In any case...I have not found anything like it since then, which I think was 2021. Is it possible to do dye stabilization with a silver colored dye? I don't know for sure if it was truly silver, or maybe some shades of gray, but the blank really did have a shimmering silver quality to it, and I'm not sure if that was just chatoyance, or if there was a dye factor to it as well. In any case...is that something you guys could do?

I just saw and replied to the other thread. There is no silver dye but a lighter shade of black might accomplish what you're looking for

Thank you for the helpful responses, I have some burl on the way that may need to be stabilized.
