Vacum Bagging Driftwood?

[crashinc25]

What's the fun in that?

If the bag were strong enough and you could pull a high enough vacuum to draw vapor from the wood till no more comes out (several days to a week), then inject pure (?) water into the bag and let soak for a week or two...yes.

But I don't think even Johnptc would try this .

never under estimate a lunatic

i like the rock however in this case.....

 

[johnptc]

you could reverse it and try pressure treating the wood with a thin non toxic epoxy..............

I enjoy placing rocks on wood. It's like a hobby.

You all realize what a business venture this could be, right? All of us living in the instant gratification society wouldn't buy a instant addition to our tank rather than wait for the eventual full waterlogged piece? Oh, and BTW, I think a big *** rock sitting on top of a nice piece of driftwood look like $hit and tacky. Just my lil piece though.

<-- (meaning me!!)

JohnPTC, put one of those props on the driftwood! That might actually look good. Of course, I think you'd have only splinters left with all that weight!

That's it, I'm buying an industrial vacuum. Half price vacuuming for everyone!

Why waste your money on a industrial vacuum when you can just buy a Michael Bolton album. It's cheaper they suck more than anything else on Earth.

Silly question, but if you plan on 'soaking' the drift wood in epoxy, why not just make a mold & cast it in resin?

I cant see the fish enjoying the wood if it is ruined with epoxy.. My Africans tend to nibble at the wood, and I sure don't want to pay for the dental work if they bust a tooth on the epoxy
