I ended up fuming it in a tent that I built on the sidewalk in front of my 5th street storefront. It was much to my horror when I realized that the fumes were wafting down to the sidewalk cafe next door. Ah, youthful ignorance and exuberance, a dangerous combo!Peter Galberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206420121702258974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839508507864602815.post-56068975367147981862010-02-05T08:16:05.347-05:002010-02-05T08:16:05.347-05:00Years ago I did an article in FWW about fuming a w...Years ago I did an article in FWW about fuming a white oak bookcase. I built a large, tight polyethylene structure around it with a removable front panel to allow loading. Shallow pie tins on the bottom got the ammonia poured into them and a small fan created some air movement. The stuff I used was from a chemical supply place and, man,it was horrible. I was in treacherous toxic territory. At that concentration you could observe the wood darken pretty rapidly, immediately above the tins, eventually over the whole thing. Done by morning, but who wanted to open that loading door? Nowadays I like to use a homemade rust mix I get for free from the old iron pot ontop of our woodstove that produces a nice thick slurry before all the water boils out. <br /><br />TicoTico Vogthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743565097341810389noreply@blogger.com
