What is stabilisation?<\/h2>\n\n

The stabilisation<\/strong> is the process that makes wood (or bone) denser<\/strong> and harder<\/strong> and therefore easier to work<\/strong>. This process also makes materials more resistant<\/strong> to moisture, impact and cracking, so they become more durable<\/strong> over time. Their natural colours last longer too, or are even revived: the woods fade less and the patterns are brought out.<\/p>\n\n

Stabilisation is particularly useful for softwoods and materials with small cracks. Indeed, materials less dense absorb the resin better<\/strong> than harder materials such as ironwood.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Cactus Juice Resin<\/h2>\n\n

We use a stabilising resin based on natural cactus juice<\/strong> to stabilise and harden our woods effectively. It is a resin that hardens after being heated in an oven. It alters the natural colour of the wood only very slightly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

How does it work?<\/h2>\n\n

To stabilise wood (or bone), you first have to make sure it is dry<\/strong> and clean<\/strong>, then it is placed in a vacuum chamber<\/strong> with the resin. The air is removed from the chamber so that it is replaced by the resin inside the material. Finally the resin hardens as it is heated, then it must be left to cool.<\/p>\n
