    Default Curing process - boiling?

    Neil, & others experienced in stabilization,

    After having some palm stabilized I noted that the take up of the Cactus Juice appears to be quite variable, possibly due to retained moisture in the blanks. This lead me off on a bit of research.

    I was reading some of Kurt Hertzog's articles on pen blank stabilization where he mentions the thermo setting phase of the stabilization process being completed by submerging the blank in a zip lock bag in just off the boil or a "soft boil" boiling water. Does any one use that technique?

    I don't, I just use an oven, but Cactus Juice only takes 90C so a sealed bag in boiling water would work.
