Title: Bloxygen/Stain Storage
Post by: Toneman on October 30, 2015, 04:29:20 pm
I have a problem with wood stains getting thick and separating after a while. I dip most items, so I have the stains stored in plastic tubs with supposedly air tight lids. I do realize that space between the lid and the stain will allow oxygen so the stain will oxidize I assume. I ran across a product called Bloxygen, which is mostly argon and it comes in a can and is dispensed much like keyboard air cans, etc. It is supposed to force all the oxygen out of the container. I was wandering if anyone here has used this product, and if so, would appreciate any feedback. Also, any advice on oil based stain storage would be greatly appreciated.
