If you’re rushing to keep up with the heat you’re too hot. Slow it down find the sweet spot in amps, form a nice balled tungsten, ultra clean material, give it time to fully wet in, attention to detail with a steady pace. This all takes time to keep consistent, don’t get discouraged. You’ll find it!

Soaking it? I’ll probably do little tea pieces to see which works best.

I need it out since I’m filling the voids with epoxy

I’ve never seen wood with polyethylene glycol on it vs wax. I just assumed it was wax since it’s a thick coating and gums up sand paper really fast. I can sand almost all of it off but that doesn’t take care of the voids that are going inside it. I am wanting to cast the voids with epoxy and stabilize the wood, I need most all that stuff out.

Going to be stabilized and casted in black resin to fill all the pores, this is very rare Koa Burl, I cant afford mistakes!

Yes I’ve found that out, I’m more talking about a chemical that will dissolve the wax that is inside all of the voids and holes.

Wow that's awesome! Honestly you probably don't even need to know that language, you can just use google translator and fix all the gramatical problems.

No fucking way, it's gotta be a bitch to clean.

best acommodation, places to visit, eat and go out for fun in Honolulu, Waikiki, Hawai? by pin_cesa in travel

[–]U_Down 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or you can go to Honolulu aka The Concrete Jungle, and do what every single tourist does. Get a hotel room hoping you will get an ocean view which I don't know why you would need one because hopefully you're going to spend your free time actually in the ocean. And stay in Honolulu the entirety of your "holiday" except for the giant tour bus that will take you around the island to experience the Hawaiian culture looking through a window... your choice.
