Thanks

I’m not sure how the heat will treat your bottle, however there are clear epoxy choices, try Johnson’s lapidary on line and see what they have

Thank you

I’m sure you’re correct. It looks like it’s bubbling all around when you look at the pictures in the video it’s sucking air out of everything so when it sucks the air out and as it cools the resin is going to fill those cavities in the rock

Also, putting in a vacuum low boiling point so it could literally be boiling

I will go back and look, i stated at the beginning that the websites were not being quoted, unless I cited them specifically. I believe in general what I said was correct, but I may have directed attention to to a picture that did not align with what I was talking about my apologies

Hi friend, our wire saw can cut thin slabs automatically

I see two comments here, not sure I only erased them if they’re rude and offensive usually cuss words

The plastic tubing that they use for an ice machine I think it’s a quarter inch or 5/16 inch. I’m not sure it usually comes with a fitting and it has a thread. I just found a nut that would fit the back of it and cut out a little piece of rubber Black rubber to make a gasket and snugged up a washer and nut on the inside of the bucket. those were items I just had around over the years they can be found at any hardware store

You could look on Amazon or eBay. There’s a lot of different ways to put a hole into a bucket and put a valve on it. It could be a garden hose valve. I’ve done that for a hydroponic set up that I had. I cut a hole in a 30 gallon bucket and they had awasher that fit into the hole and it would allow a certain size PVC pipe to slide through it and then I could just glue a threaded fitting with a plastic valve on there a threaded fitting with a brass valve. There’s a dozen different ways to do it if you’re not handy maybe try to find someone in your neighborhood that is handy to help you figure it out.

@@RadicalRocksthank you for the response…honestly I wasn’t really expecting one. I usually am handy, but I don’t know anything about plumping or the name of all of the parts, as I did have to look them up with a lot of trial and error. Spent all day researching how to set something up, but it seems like people aren’t very good at tutorials for newbies such as myself. I don’t wanna screw up or waste time, so id like to know exactly what I’m doing before I do it. That’s really hard, though… sorry if I came off as rude. Yesterday was rough

Here is one of many ways to pu a valve on a 5 gallon bucket. www.hunker.com/13425631/how-to-put-a-garden-hose-spigot-on-a-five-gallon-pail

Mucho Gracias

I believe someone in the comments said they did that , someone else said they use saran wrap for the last cooling of your stones. Thanks for your comments

It’s a closely guarded trade secret. There is speculation,, but I don’t have specifics

It will likely break, sounds like a good topic to research.

Nice

Thank you

Thank you I appreciate that

Sounds great!

I have used JB weld as a backing. I will have to check it out. Thank you

I done ok, I know some sellers personally, but some look like they sell fake.

Thank you David, I appreciate you.

I have one but sometimes the light outside is good or my truck bed is right there

Thank you

Thank you!

Here is the GIA link. www.gia.edu/gems-gemology/spring-1999-identification-zachery-treated-turquoise-fritsch

Basically it’s a secret possibly using heat pressure and a chemical mix of some sort the ends up increasing the potassium levels

I’m not sure how you would clean the book but maybe you can re-copy it if it’s for your own personal use I don’t see the harm

@@RadicalRocks wow, man - that's actually the best idea I've came across, thank you for that! From my recent research, it seems that moldy/mildewed books can't really be permanently cleaned from the spores...
