How much crystals aded to water to replicate wood brughteners?

A few table spoons.....it does not take much. 2lbs should last a very long time. Rinse the wood 5 or 6 times before sanding and wear a face mask if you do.

I'm fairly (not 100%) sure you can't. I had no luck doing crystals, which surprised me. It worked out for me anyway. I was able to make a super saturated solution that I could use in place of the Alum that is sold as 'Barber Alum'. You could probably use a small container to hold a solution and add the scent, but I doubt that's what you are looking for.

I couldn't tell you one by one- but I can tell you a round about. A lot of them involve boiling and cool down time and ofcourse, mixing. Approximately half hour or so for each to get them started. The longest part is waiting for them to grow.....days. One of mine took two weeks to show anything remotely close to a stone. And some of them have another step you take after the stone has grown a little, like gluing it on a string and hanging it into the solution so you can watch it further grow longer. Do not expect "big" results. These are tiny- like pencil eraser tiny. I even tried doubling up on the experiments---still small crystals. It is neat though. I think I was more interested than my 6 year old though in watching them grow. Also- if you do hang them on string- don't use regular glue. Invest in a glue gun or they will fall off from the moisture. And....I suggest gloves when using the blue/purple powder. I had to use bleach to get it off my hands.

After the initial use, you will need to boil water in a large stock pot. Wrap the neck and shoulder heat wrap in a towel so it does not come in contact with the metal of the pot and immerse the towel and heat wrap in boiling water for at least ten minutes. All the crystals need to be gone. Click metal disk to reactivate crystals and heat.

I used filtered water to restore the natural beauty of the crystals (they do come dirty). Here's how: Put the crystals in a laundry mesh bag, fill a 5 gallon bucket with cold filtered water, dip and rotate the bag in the water for about 20 seconds, allow crystals to dry. You can clean yours crystals with water and there will hardly be a noticeable decrease in its volume.

I can't give you an exact amount, but filling it to overflowing, then pouring a bit out seems to be pretty effective at keeping the water from expanding and pushing the two halves apart.

You dont have to have water but for wood you use random orbital sanders not this.this is for granite, marble,natural stones.

mix 1-2 tablespoons per gallon of water and then water as you normally would when needed. I used the kelp on new seedlings just when they emerged, worked great.

I always put the crystals into a small dish. I think that a shallow layer with mostly surface area is most effective, (rather than a narrow deeper container)

Can't help you on this. I am thrilled with the Just the Crystals....having used other crystal and clay products.

Just let it melt at room tempreture for 20 or 30 minutes, squeeze the mold back together sealing properly and re-freeze. The melted water fills the cracks and it comes out smooth without cracks. Use distilled water for best results.

As long as you want it to. The crystals inside absorb water, then slowly release the molecules as humidity. Directions say that you need to refill the water ever 2-3 months. The crystals themselves, however, don't decay or expire with long term use.

None...I threw them away. Is not worth it unless you have the right bit for your drill or you may crack the plastic. Instead purchase a plastic spike that you attach to the bottle and comes with a terra cotta spike that you insert in the ground. It works wonderful and your plants never dry out and yes, it does cost a little more.

It really depends on how dry the wood is. One tube will cover about 10 square feet

We did a 80' long fence 4' tall with 2 1/2 packages (12 1/2 imperial gallons mixed according to package). Depends on how dry the wood is too. We also did a barn, also new wood, but really dried out. The drier wood seems to use surprisingly less because it doesn't run off when applied with the sprayer. Love this stuff and will be using again!

I would use a cup of sudsy ammonia in a bucket of warm water. Ammonia will dissolve the finish.
