CLOSING WOUNDS

[Benny w]

Thanks for the link Sergio.
A fact or question about using an air compressor instead of the compressed air.
Moisture is expelled from within the hose and tank which could harbor pathogens
so wise choice to use the can of compressed air. It irks me when I use my air compressor
to blow off saw dust from fine wood working and it sprays out rust water.
I still do it, but I'm not sealing it up within a living tree either.

At the bottom of your air compressor tank there is a screw and every month loosen the screw and let that water drain out of the tank.

Yes i do that everytime i use the compressor.
Leave the valve open, and still get moisture.
I only close it when i use it.
thanks

I got a new piece of maple stock in the fall, and just got to look at the wounds healing yesterday. Most of them looked good as evidenced by dry cut paste, cracks in the cut paste, rolling calluses and light/dryer wood underneath.

However this one 100% needs epoxy! The callus is barely rolling, the wood is dark/soft and there was no cracking of the cut paste.
