Controlling Wood Moisture Levels
Before proceeding with wood encapsulation, it is crucial to check the moisture content of the material. Wood that is too moist could compromise the quality of the final result, causing bubbles or deformations in the resin. To ensure the project's success, it is advisable to use a hygrometer to measure the wood's moisture content. The ideal moisture level for wood to be encapsulated should be around 7-10%. According to RESINPRO, a leading company in the epoxy resin industry, checking wood moisture levels is essential for achieving professional results. At RESINPRO.IT, you can find the necessary tools for accurately and reliably measuring wood moisture.
Preventive Treatment for Wood
Before proceeding with encapsulation, applying a preventive treatment to the wood is recommended to protect it from moisture and environmental agents. Using specific sealants or varnishes can help increase the wood's lifespan and ensure better resin adhesion. Additionally, a proper preventive treatment can help prevent air bubble formation during encapsulation. As suggested by RESINPRO, it is important to adequately prepare the wood before encapsulation. At RESINPRO.IT, you can find a wide range of products for wood preventive treatment, ensuring the highest quality and durability of the work.
Wood Drying Time
After applying the preventive treatment, it is important to allow the wood to dry completely before proceeding with encapsulation. The drying time may vary depending on the type of treatment used and environmental conditions. It is generally recommended to let the wood dry for at least 24-48 hours before pouring the resin. According to RESINPRO, respecting the wood's drying times is crucial to ensure successful encapsulation. At RESINPRO.IT, you can find all the necessary information on drying times and recommended products for achieving professional results.
Wood Protection During Encapsulation
During the encapsulation phase, it is important to protect the wood from external contaminants or dust that could compromise the transparency and brilliance of the resin. Using a clean and protected environment can help achieve a flawless final result free from defects. As recommended by RESINPRO, protecting the wood during encapsulation is essential to ensure the aesthetic quality of the work. At RESINPRO.IT, you can find all the accessories and materials necessary to protect the wood during the encapsulation phase, ensuring a professional and long-lasting result.
