Okay as promised to Billy, I finished my vacuum set up and started using my vacuum. It works wonderfully, wood starts bubbling in the solution the instant I turn the vacuum on. What doens't compute is...seems like the air in the wood never runs out!!! I did several cycles releasing vacuum after each cycle and air still comes out like crazy on all of them!!!
One time, I let the vacuum run about 15 minutes...amount of bubbles coming out of the blanks seems never ending!!! [:0][B)] BTW, I am doing redwood burl blanks.
Below is my cheap setup...less than $28.00 incluidng a Gast vacuum $10.00, tubes, gate valve and fittings $17.00 (excludes blanks and solution ). Bubbles finally subside a bit on this last run...there is hope still LOL.
