Ammonia fumeing oak.
I finish turned an Oak bowl today and ammonia fumed it. It darkened a
lot. Now I realize I have not sanded it yet. Will I sand away the color or does the fumeing darken it all the way through? JB |

Since you need to sand it anyway, why not just start sanding? Deal with
the color later, IF it changes. Do you really have a choice?? David Jeff Bennett wrote: I finish turned an Oak bowl today and ammonia fumed it. It darkened a lot. Now I realize I have not sanded it yet. Will I sand away the color or does the fumeing darken it all the way through? JB |

You may be OK. I did just fine sanding some floor boards in a staircase
landing. I was just leveling the joints between T&G boards( fumed for 2-3 days). I came up a little short and needed to add a 1/4" filler strip. I gave the filler strip just a couple of hours in a big with ammonia until the color looked right. It did not fare as well. I had to build a little in-place ammonia tent to fix that. I did see a more scientific test on somebody's website that showed cross sections of fumed wood. The penetration varied but was as much as 1/4" in some cross sections. With a few days of fuming found that the penetration of a solid 1/8". more on the end-grain. -Steve "Jeff Bennett" wrote in message om... I finish turned an Oak bowl today and ammonia fumed it.
