Techniques for CollectorsStabalizing Turquoise
22nd Oct 2011 02:22 UTCBrad Firt
HI
Im not finding much about the process of stabalizing polished turquoise. I want to oil and wax my cabs, but againg do not know the process. Oiling I can imagine is straight forward- SO can anyone tell my how one would traditionally apply paraffin wax? Does one just dip it? How do you polish away excess wax?
Anyone with knowledge here reply would be appreciated!
Thanks

Thats good to hear. I am just starting with turquoise - having worked other stones - and just want to know that I will have a way to make poor quality, should I ever end up with it, can be managed in some way.
Thanks

My definition of stabilizing would be impregnation with adhesive, used to make low quality, uncuttable rough useful.
Your options are Opticon, epoxy, or a silicate solution.
Info on all of the above processes is easily obtained via google.
