    vacuum/pressure vessel for stabilizing wood

    The stabilizer does not catalize (harden) until you heat it up to 200 deg F. Once I am done the Vacuum/pressure on the wood, I take the wood out and wrap in tin foil. I then put it in a toaster oven for 1-2 hours at 210 deg f. When I take it out it is hard.
