Jim Suiter, fellow Scorpions help clear hiking trails in the High Cascades

By Kelly Fenley, The Register-Guard

What’s the difference between hiking a mountain trail and crawling through it like an obstacle course?

Volunteer work by groups like the Scorpions, who help clear Forest Service trails of windfall timbers, rolled rocks, collapsed banks and even washed-out bridges.

Like mountain men of old, these volunteers wield bare-handed tools, including cross-cut saws, axes, pulaskis, shovels and such. Wilderness laws prohibit them from using power tools.

“Most people don’t have a clue that anybody is out there clearing the trails,” allows Jim Suiter of Eugene, a diehard volunteer with the High Cascades Forest Volunteers Scorpion Crew.

He balks at being singled out like this, but Suiter gets volunteer of the month honors for logging more than 500 hours this year alone with the Scorpions. “The focus should not be just on me,” he says after breakfast with his buds at the IHOP in Springfield.

But he’s in the thick of trail work more than most.

“The Willamette National Forest is short on paid personnel to maintain their many miles of trails,” states Judy Mitchell, volunteer coordinator for the High Cascades Scorpion crew. “Jim has stepped up to the plate. He’s provided many years and thousands of hours to see that the public has safe and fascinating trails to hike on.”

Mountain high

Suiter cut his teeth on logging after graduating from Crow High School in 1962. “That’s what a lot of us country kids did,” he says.

Later he got “the” letter from Uncle Sam, so Suiter joined the Air Force and became an orthopedic technician. His tour in Viet Nam led to Cam Ranh Bay, where he bandaged wounds and put broken bones into casts. “During five days of the Tet Offensive, the whole hospital sort of turned into an air-evac unit,” he replies when asked about that time in 1968. “We didn’t have enough beds to keep people.”

After his four-year hitch, Suiter returned home and logged for a brief time with his dad, a lifelong timber faller.

His mother worked just as hard raising six children, even while afflicted with polio induced by her pregnancy with Suiter. “I get my work ethic from both of my parents,” he confides.

He pursued an orthopedics career with gusto, eventually becoming a physician assistant. But he remained a logger at heart.

“I missed the physical labor,” he admits.

To this day, when out with fellow Scorpions, he loves to feel the sweat building when clearing trails. “It’s almost like a runner’s high,” he says.

But it’s not all brawn out here.

“There are new challenges on every cut,” Suiter says.

Once, while clearing French Pete trails after a forest fire, Suiter and fellow Scorpions came across a big, scorched windfall timber. Ugh: heavy work ahead with their cross-cut hand saws.

But then Suiter had a wild idea. What if they cut up two smaller windfall trees and placed them like rails under the big log, which lay at a slight downhill angle? Cut the big tree just once, at just the right spot, and most of it would roll off the bank.

“My only error was not putting odds on that and taking bets,” he says with a grin.

Wilderness wonders

Scorpions get no compensation for their work — not even for food or vehicle fuel to trailheads. But the rewards can be exhilarating.

“If you just hike, you never know what you’re going to see,” Suiter says. “What’s new, what’s different, what’s unique about this place? ‘Oh look, there’s a little worm; I’ve never seen one like this appear before.’ It’s a surprise, another awakening.”

He’s seen spotted owls, bear, deer and elk, and multiple cougars, including one stalking a doe. He and his son watched with binoculars, like a Discovery episode in real time. “Finally, off she went. The cougar made three or four bounds, but the deer was off and gaining (ground). So he just quit. Another day.”

Unlike Suiter, many Scorpion volunteers do not have logging experience. “We have an E.R. physician, social workers, insurance people — there’s nurses,” Suiter says.

He shows greenhorns the ropes, plus sharpens tools for the crew and shuttles gear to trailheads in his four-wheel-drive Chevy Silverado pickup.

“Jim is in his 70s, (but) has the energy of a 17-year-old,” writes volunteer coordinator Mitchell in nominating Suiter as volunteer of the month. “He’s an excellent mentor for new folks on the crew.”

Suiter admits it “takes a little longer for me to get to the spots. I’m a little slower than I used to be.”

But he plans to keep on clearing trails until he is not physically able to continue.

When not clearing trails, Suiter may load up his two horses and head to the mountains for bow hunting — sometimes with friends, sometimes with just his Tennessee walker and Kiger mustang.

“Both are in their 20s,” he says of the horses. “They and are I probably going to fade away at the same time.”

The Microsoft 365 Add-Ins Destined to Make Your Life Easier

Sometimes our tools don’t function quite how we’d like them to. Sometimes they could be optimised or augmented to fit our behaviour. It’s only natural. It’s why we buy roof racks for cars. In the same vein, Microsoft’s add-ins let you extend the functionality of 365. Here are some of the best ones.

This helps fight the noise and headache created by email. There’s a lot to it. But notable functions are as follows. In no particular order; the ability to schedule emails to send at a later date. An “inbox pause” function preventing your computer pinging with notifications all day. And the option to create a visual grid displaying your availability for the week. Now you can take charge of your calendar a little more, with a stand against unnecessary meetings.

Switching to a Google image search mid-PowerPoint or Word doc can be quite the time suck. Especially when you need 20 of them in half an hour. Enter Pickit. A library of high quality, royalty-free images. Browse them by category from within your document. Pickit is free but for an extra $1.99 you can work with a library of HD images too.

This creates a scheduling experience slightly more cohesive than Boomerang’s availability grid. Find time shows users optimum calendar openings for team meetings. It gives all users the ability to view multiple slots and vote on their preferred time. The winning time will have an invite sent out immediately.

Promoted as a tool for legal documents this tool lets you create templates from Microsoft Word. Don’t let the legal aspect scare you. Its functionality stretches far and wide. Letters, emails, you name it. Create documents, highlight the areas you’d like to be edited and lock what needs to remain constant.

Some honourable mentions

Firstly, email recovery. We all enjoy an email deletion fest every once in a while. But that can go awry when you hit delete on the one email you actually need. With Email Recovery, you have peace of mind. Unless you decide to hit purge, no email is gone forever. Secondly, Priority Matrix does exactly what it says on the tin, it helps you to prioritize. Using a quadrant system, it lets you set due dates, prioritize accordingly and turn emails into action items.

On the whole, the above tools create two results. Firstly, the minimization of task switching. When your emails ping less you can maintain your focus. When you spend less time switching from an image search to your document, your attention remains stronger for longer. Secondly, they eliminate arduous tasks. Unnecessary meetings are history. Rewriting that same contract every time? Never again. Both these benefits funnel back into our master commodity; more time. And as we know, more time equals more money.

Three Responses to Jesus

January 2, 2020

The story of the Magi as told in Matthews gospel highlights the different responses people make to the 'good news' of Jesus Christ. King Herod was troubled by the news, feeling his power and privelege to be threatened and the religious leaders were indifferent happy to immerse themselves in their religious duties but the Magi travelled to worship Jesus. The Magi were outsiders, those least expected to respond in this way and they serve

as a powerful reminder that the good news is for all!

This IDC PeerScape examines the practices adopted by retailers to get fulfillment right in an omni-channel environment in the COVID-19 era."Getting fulfillment right in an omni-channel environment, profitably, is difficult," says Jordan K. Speer, research manager, IDC Retail Insights' Global Supply Chain. "Some retailers are still tackling the basics; others are further along the curve. Effective fulfillment that does not eat up profits requires digital transformation (DX) -- the ability to automate data, integrate that data across the platforms where it's needed, gain visibility into that data, and be able to analyze and make decisions based on it, all in real time -- and infrastructure and processes that, when combined with the analysis enabled by DX, permit the optimal combination of inventory and labor usage, location, shipping time, cost, and parcel delivery provider to ensure customer delight and bottom-line profitability," she said. "This is so crucial that logistics and fulfillment ranked as the number 3 focus for retailers from a supply chain risk mitigation perspective, just behind overall supply chain visibility and store operations, according to IDC's 2020 Supply Chain Survey."

« On the anniversary of Mein Kampf: Anti-Semitism, “the hate that dares not speak its name.”July 19, 2011  by

In attempting to understand and contextualize contemporary anti-Semitism – particularly its manifestation at the Guardian and Comment is Free – it’s important to understand the often misunderstood connection between what it was (historically) and what it now is.

Walter Russel Mead is one of the few bloggers who can claim the mantle of public intellectual. His blog, at the site of The American Interest, is must reading for those who seek to be informed on current events with the immediacy of a blog, and the erudition of a genuine scholar. Indeed, Mead is recognized as one of America’s leading experts on American foreign policy.

Mead is a Democrat who voted for Barack Obama.

Mead’s latest post, “The Hate That Dares Not Speak It’s Name“, notes, about Mein Kampf:

“The Bible of the Nazi movement was published in July of 1925 [and] you could still buy it at the international airport newstand in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur — along with other classics of anti-Semitism like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and the collected rants of Henry Ford in the Dearborn Independent.”

Mead continues:

When Hitler wrote, it was still socially OK to be an anti-Semite.   In some circles it was mandatory.  As a consequence of Hitler’s life’s work, it is now as unfashionable to be an anti-Semite as it is to name your child Adolf.

The truth is that anti-Semitism is alive and well and not even particularly rare; it’s just that many of today’s anti-Semites like to think of themselves as enlightened, modern people and get all huffy and hissy if anyone accuses them of prejudice in any form.  Many who in past times would have been open and honest about their anti-Semitism, now try to hide the truth even from themselves.

Mead then continues by listing the various views consistent with modern anti-Semitism:

1. Jews are more clannish than other people and act in concert to support a specifically Jewish agenda.

2. Jews deploy extraordinary wealth with almost superhuman cunning in support of the Jewish agenda.

3. As a religious and national minority, Jews cannot flourish without attacking the traditional values of their host society.  In every country Jews seek to weaken national culture, religion, values and cohesion.

4. Jews are not a national group or a people in the way that others are; they do not have the same right to establish a nation-state that other peoples do.

5. Where Jewish interests are concerned, the appearance of open debate in our society and many others is a carefully constructed illusion.  In reality, Jews work together to block open debate on issues they care about and those who resist the Jewish agenda are marginalized in public discussion.

Mead continues:

Since Hitler’s death, the world has defined anti-Semitism down.  Nurturing ancient fantasies of secret Jewish cabals that control the media and play politicians like puppets on a string, and making political judgments based on these fantasies isn’t sort of or almost anti-Semitic.  To believe that Jews control public discourse and the media and bend the gentile masses to their sinister agenda is the essence of old-fashioned anti-Semite.  In some countries these beliefs are so common that they are no longer recognized as an aggressive and communicable mental disease.  These ideas have become so widely accepted that they are seldom questioned or examined;

On the anniversary of Mein Kampf‘s publication people of good will everywhere should remember the need to fight one of the most vicious forms of prejudice that the world has ever known. Prejudice never recognizes itself; anti-Semites honestly think their delusional beliefs about Jews are simple, obvious truths.  They are not; all five of those beliefs are demonstrably false.

While, as I’ve noted continually, the Guardian’s biggest anti-Semitic sin is their sin of omission – failing to recognize and report explicit and quite ubiquitous anti-Semitism in the Arab and Muslim world – it is important to note that they are also often guilty of licensing narratives at CiF which advance the argument that Jews “do not have the same right to establish a nation-state that other peoples do” (Mead’s #4), as well as the increasingly banal but no less insidious argument that organized Jewry works in concert (typically described as the “Israel Lobby” or “Jewish Lobby” in a context denoting its injurious influence) “to block open debate on issues they care about and those who resist the Jewish agenda are marginalized in public discussion” (Mead’s #5).

Mead concludes:

Anti-Semitism is real, it is murderous, and it is very much with us today.  Speak the truth and shame the devil.  Whatever your religion, your politics, your views about Israeli policy, fighting anti-Semitism is part of what it means to be a decent human being.

Mead’s moral imperative represents, as eloquently as I could ever state, the mission of this blog. »

Capellini Secret Clubhouse

The Capellini Secret Clubhouse is an unusual piece that combines memories of childhood dens with the best of classic Swedish design.

It could easily pass as something from the 1970s, although it was created by Martin Vallin in 2010 and rather than wicker, it uses recycled pine plywood. Even at the current discounted price, the Cappellini Secret Clubhouse is, I suspect, out of most people’s price range for a single piece of furniture. It costs £5,863.98 (reduced from £6,898.80).

If you have the desire and means, buy it online at Nest.

One thought on “Capellini Secret Clubhouse

  1. Affordable design this isnt…Ikea could probably knock these out for less the £250.
    leave that outside for a week in the uk and it would be ruined.

One Hit Wonders will be performed at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre on Friday, Nov. 10 at 7:30 p.m. ~ Image submitted

Revelstoke dancers perform alongside Motus O in One Hit Wonders

Local dancers featured in two numbers

The spectacular Motus O Dance Theatre is returning to Revelstoke with a unique show made up of works commissioned by the company over a nearly 30-year time span.

One Hit Wonders includes nine pieces ranging in style and emotion. Some of the pieces are upbeat, some are sad, and some are funny.

“We realized over 20 odd years there were a lot of works that had only been performed once or twice. We thought why not throw together a show and we selected works we thought would work well as a compact program,” said Jack Langenhuizen, one of Motus O’s artistic directors.

Fifteen local dancers will be featured in two of the pieces in the show, Curbed and Musical Ride. Curbed was commissioned by a high school a number of years ago and has since evolved. Musical Rides was commissioned by the RCMP and uses hobby horses in place of real horses.

A company with a focus on being community oriented, Motus O has a history of creating shows that include local performers. A performance by Motus O at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre two years ago included local performers and delighted audiences.

“Everybody adored the show, especially the contemporary dance parts,” said Miriam Manley, executive director of the Revelstoke Arts Council. “Most people came because of community members taking part in the show and were then surprised at how much they enjoyed it.”

Being community oriented is a big part of Motus O Dance Theatre’s focus. Langenhuizen said many of the works included in One Hit Wonders were commissioned for a general audience.

“Our company is very conscientious in making sure it’s accessible for the audience we are performing for,” said Langenhuizen. “The dance audience still gets their enjoyment and the general public can still be challenged. There really is something for everyone.”

One Hit Wonders includes a video as part of the nine works. The piece, Impoverished, features Judy Hazlett a former dancer and figure skater who has Parkinson’s disease.

“We love to work with video and we thought we should include one. The piece was done for TV. Often we will work with video to mix it up, it also provides a break for the dancers and keeps the audience engaged,” said Langenhuizen.

Working with people with disabilities is also a passion of Motus O. Langenhuizen said about 15 years ago he and the other artistic directors, James and Cynthia Croker, began to reflect on the direction the dance company was taking. That led to working with people with disabilities and social service organizations.

“We saw people being transformed within themselves, not as dancers but seeing another part of them come to life. We realized arts has a much bigger place in our society,” he said.

One Hit Wonders will be performed at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre on Friday, Nov. 10 at 7:30 p.m. For more information or to purchase tickets visit, call 250-814-9325 or email Tickets may also be available at the door prior to the performance.

John Salminen watercolor workshop- finished painting

Last month I attended the John Salminen watercolor workshop at the Arts of the Albemarle in historic Elizabeth City, NC.  It was a great workshop led by the renowned watercolor painter.  I, and the other participants in the workshop, spent the entire week working on one painting.

Generally, I paint loose and fast.  Working in a slow and methodical manner is, well, not me.  That is why I chose to take John’s class.  Stepping out of my comfort zone would be a learning experience.

We first began with a detailed drawing on full size Arches 300 lb watercolor paper (not a paper nor size I typically use).  I had problems finishing the painting when I returned from the workshop because my kitchen table is barely big enough to hold the paper, much less my water bowl and palette.

The subject matter of the painting is the Arch of Santa Catarina in the UNESCO World Heritage town of Antigua, Guatemala.  My photo reference was a slide I shot years ago.

Once the initial drawing was completed, we used masking tape to cover protected areas.  Cutting around the tape protects the area from paint, though most of these areas would have paint applied eventually.  It just prevents mud from happening by covering areas with too many glazes.

My first washes on the paper were applied with assistance from John, expertly talking me through blending wet colors with the use of a hake brush.

My watercolor palette at the end of the third day of painting:

I am cheap.  I use the lid and palette bottom for mixing colors.  I just have to make sure the top is dry before putting it on.

Unfortunately, I did not take more progression shots of my painting.  Wish I had, but I was busy concentrating and talking (face it, I can’t be quiet for more than 10 minutes, it’s how I relieve stress). 🙂

The finished watercolor:

I darkened the sky and mountain, finished the right-hand side, and slightly modified the shadow being cast by the foreground light.

Materials used:

water (duh)

Arches 300 lb paper

mouth atomizer

Winsor Newton watercolor paints

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser

Snap knifes

Crappy masking tape that left a residue on the paper that made it really, really hard to apply paint once removed (don’t buy the cheap stuff)

Hake brush

Regular brushes

What a fun week.  Check out Eng Pua’s blog about the workshop.  Eng was gracious enough  to photograph the final critique of the participants’ paintings.

Cocktail table in steel wire, diameter: 6mm (0.2"), with epoxy lacquer finish. Top in 6mm-thick tempered glass. Also available in other dimensions and finishes.

Manufactured in Europe.

Cédric Ragot

From industrial design to interiors, the work of Cédric Ragot pushes the boundaries of the contemporary arts and has been hailed as some of the most innovative work to be created by his generation. Always on the move yet always available, with a lust for knowledge and an insatiable curiosity, strong-willed, talented and endearing, this young designer refused to be pigeon-holed. His creativity flowed from one project to the next, creating synergies between them. From the beginning of his collaboration with Roche Bobois in 2005 to his sad parting in 2015, Cédric brought boundless creativity, a sense of innovation and great expertise to the projects that we worked on, often combining biomorphic forms of inspiration and technologically advanced materials. His ability to blend creative imagination with innovative technical solutions and to adapt to situations rather than to ever give up, led to the creation of furniture and accessory designs that will bear the imprint of his talent long into the future.

Cranbury Station Park

Cranbury, NJ

Circulation, Automation, and Innovation

Cranbury Station Park, a 930,000 square feet speculative development, is a unique partnership between Rockefeller Group and Alfieri, and was designed for circulation, automation, and innovation to support today’s demanding distribution requirements. The goal was focused on moving product at the speed of demand-where next-day delivery becomes same-day delivery and to create a facility that grows with your business, so that tenants can move up not out. This was in part accomplished by building the first 40-foot clear ceiling height for an industrial facility in the State of New Jersey. At time of completion, the building was fully leased by Wayfair. We believe the future of warehouse and distribution is Cranbury Station Park.

First in the State

Cranbury Station Park was the first 40-foot clear industrial project in New Jersey.

4 kindle fire charging port repairs

Don’t try this repair yourself unless you are skilled in micro soldering on charging ports. This is an advanced repair.

Kindle Fire Charging Port Repair Under Microscope by RockITRepairs

The answer to this common Kindle fire charging port problem can be found in the hands of our experienced, competent techs

It has become an all too common occurrence for Kindle owners- they plug their tablet in, allow plenty of time for a full recharge, yet return to find that their Kindle is still suffering from a dead or dying battery. They might try some of the simpler troubleshooting tips (i.e. hold power button down for 30, then plug into charger to reset; clean port with 99% alcohol); a few may get lucky and discover a charging “sweet spot”, found by wiggling the USB cable into the charging port at exactly the right angle, but at that point, their Kindle’s battery is living on borrowed time. Eventually, the Kindle won’t charge at all, and the charging port has bcome noticeably loose.

Why would this happen to a perfectly functioning tablet that isn’t even two years old?

The Kindle Charging Port Repair Defect

kindle fire charging port viewed under a microscope

If any of this sounds familiar, then it sounds as though your Kindle has been exhibiting the symptoms indicative of the Kindle Charging Port Defect, This surprisingly common problem is caused by an improperly soldered connection on the motherboard, and it seems to affect the Kindle Fire more frequently than the rest of the Kindle family.

This problem is so widespred that it was estimated (because Amazon doesn’t release exact figures) that between 12.5% – 13.3% of the tablets sold in one sales quarter would end up being returned due to customer dissatisfaction ( ).

Those folks able to return theirs for a free, brand-new replacement are fortunate, but few. The defect tends to show up following the expiration of the warranty, at around 1 1/2 years of age. Apparently, Amazon has done nothing to make this right, as people are posting about it today on the Amazon Kindle forums  (

RockIT Repairs Has Got You Covered When Your Kindle Won’t Charge

Our top-notch techs have the ability to cure charging port defects and damages that your Kindle may be suffering from, no matter which model you have! We can repair or replace the charging port, LCD, screen, and more on any Kindle, including Kindle Fire HD 7″, 8.9″, and 8.9″ 4G, both the 1st and 2nd generations of Kindle Fire, Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Touch, Kindle Keyboard, Kindle DX, and  the 1st and 2nd generations of the original Kindle.

*Updated 2/3/14 – We have been seeing a lot of Kindle Fire HD charging ports in need of repair. We do repair the Kindle Fire HD and it is the same price as the Kindle Fire.

how to make wood waterproof

How to Waterproof Wood for Bathroom: 4 Different Techniques

When wood is not treated, there’s a significant chance it will rot or warp over time – especially when it comes in contact with water.

That’s why you need to learn how to waterproof wood for bathroom. Those small pieces of furniture or objects in your bathroom that are made of wood may need extra help from a finish to not corrode. And here, we’ll teach you how to make that possible.

Waterproofing wood is not easy, though. So, you’ll have to take every single step and factor stated in this article into account.

We’ll teach you four different ways to do it, as well as how to prepare everything so you can get to work as soon as possible.

Keep reading and learn what you’ll need to do!

How to Prepare the Wood and Yourself?

First and foremost – make sure you have everything you need to get the waterproofing effect going. And sure enough, you’ll have to start by preparing the piece of wood you want to cover and gathering all the safety items and tools necessary.

Prepare the Surface

Prepare the Surface

Wood pieces often have uneven or imperfect surfaces. This causes waterproof finishes not to stick correctly. Eventually, the finish may fall or just don’t do its work. So, you’ll have to prepare the wood by getting rid of these imperfections.

At the same time, you want the whole surface to be utterly clean, so you can apply the waterproof mixtures at once.

For both of these purposes, you’ll need the following:

  • 220-grit and 150-grit sandpaper
  • Broom or brush
  • Dustbin
  • Vacuum (optional)
  • Lint-free cloth

Once you have these items, then proceed with the following steps:

  • Start sanding the whole surface you want to cover. Use either 150 or 220 grit sandpaper. If the wood surface is too rough, then use 150-grit. But if the surface is almost smooth, then 220-grit sandpaper will suffice.
  • Sand the surface following the grain. Do not forget about crevices and complicated or irregular areas. Try to cover everything, so the whole surface is prepared for the waterproofing process.
  • Remove any remains from previous finishes. Also, get rid of imperfections.
  • Proceed to clean with a broom or brush. And then deposit everything on a dustbin. You can use a vacuum instead to make the process fast.
  • Finish by dipping the lint-free cloth on the water for a few seconds and then clean the surface off debris and dust. Follow the grain for better results.

You should be left with an entirely smooth and ready-to-be-waterproof surface.

If there are still imperfections and/or areas that feel too rough, then you can repeat the process. Don’t forget to leave everything as clean as possible.

Prepare Yourself

After gathering all the items and preparing the wood surface, then you should prepare yourself. This is mostly about gearing up safety equipment and wearing the right clothes.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Rubber or silicone gloves
  • Safety mask
  • Sturdy boots or shoes
  • Long sleeve shirt
  • Pants

Wearing all these pieces will be enough to get ready for waterproofing wood. So, don’t hesitate, and let’s get going!

How to Waterproof Wood for Bathroom in 4 Different Methods?

While learning how to make wood waterproof, you should consider several factors.

First, you need to know which surface you want to coat. You’ll have to prepare it following the previous section.

Second, you want to have a proper area to work. We recommend an outdoor space like a porch, patio, or yard. If you’re looking to waterproof an unmovable wooden object or floor, then make sure every window around is open. Then use a fan to circulate air.

Lastly, clean everything nicely before starting. Even if you don’t have to prepare the surface beforehand, we recommend getting everything as clean and tidy as possible before starting. This will prevent any mess.

Without much further ado – here are 4 methods you can use to waterproof wooden surface in your bathroom:

Method 1: Waterproofing Wood with Oil

Waterproofing Wood with Oil

This is an excellent way to waterproof wood, mainly because it delivers a stunning result. Apart from that, it offers superb durability and requires little to no money at first. So, you can get any surface waterproofed with oil without wasting your money.

Here’s how:

Pick the Right Oil

The first thing you’ll have to do is pick the ideal oil. There are various kinds to consider: walnut, tung, teak, linseed, and hard wax oil.

We recommend teak oil for an exquisite finish, as it looks superb. For durability, hard-wax oil would be the ideal choice. If you want a wet-like appearance, then you won’t hesitate and get tung oil. And lastly, linseed oil can be excellent for objects.

As for drawbacks, walnut oil can be an allergen for allergic people – so don’t apply it in surfaces that come in contact with people’s skin. Hard-wax oil is durable but tends to leave a super-thick surface. Then, you’ll find tung oil to be amazingly expensive. And linseed oil can be a little toxic when applying.

Each one offers a different result, so you’ll have to pick accordingly.

Create the Mixture

Once you’ve figured out the ideal oil for your waterproofing, we recommend strengthening the oil using a sealant.

Here’s how:

  • Go to the supply store and look for turpentine and apple cider vinegar. They help to strengthen the oil and leave a better-looking surface.
  • Pour oil in a bowl and fill it in half. Then fill a fourth of the bowl with the sealant (turpentine). Then add the rest with the apple cider vinegar.
  • Mix until the solution is totally blended and looks shiny. This solution should make the oil look thinner than before.

With the concoction ready, you can get going.

Apply the First Coat

Start by applying the first coat of the mixture. This will set the base so you can reapply later and make the waterproof cover extra reliable.

Here’s how:

  • Pour some of the mixtures in a rag. Then start to gently rub the rag with oil on the surface of the wood. This should leave a thin layer on the surface.
  • Try not to pour the mixture directly into the wood. Also, remember not to come in contact with the mixture as it contains turpentine and can be toxic. The oil itself can be damaging to your skin.
  • Rub the surface until the first coat looks even. Do not apply too much, but don’t use too little either. In short, don’t let the mixture create puddles on the surface or the floor, but also don’t rub too hard, so the mixture stays put.

Once you finish, the coat should be even and thick enough, so it is visible. Remember, only one coat. No need to reapply on the areas you already applied.

Let It Dry

Once you’ve finished covering the whole surface with the first coat, then you need to let it dry.

  • We recommend letting the surface dry for at least 30 minutes. This will harden the surface a little so you can then wipe it off with a soft lint-free cloth.
  • Now let the coating cure entirely for at least 24 hours. This should dry up the first coat and deliver a slight waterproofing effect. You can test it by sprinkling a little water over. Then wipe it off completely.

After 24 hours, you can wipe off the surface again – so you can continue applying the extra coats.

Apply a Second Coat

Once the first coat is cured, then you need to apply a second layer. Here, you will need to follow the same process as before and wait for the same amount of time for it to dry.

  • Apply the second layer and let it dry for 5 hours. The surface should look thicker now, and totally even.
  • Then sand the surface a little with a ball of steel wool. Be careful not to rub too much and get rid of the still wet second layer.

Then let it dry for at least 24 more hours.

Let It Cure

After 24 hours or a little more, you’ll see how the waterproof coats start to crystallize. This will leave a pretty surface.

You’ll know it is totally cured once you can pass your finger through the surface, and it will feel ultra-smooth.

This should happen in about 7 days or so. So, we recommend not exposing it to moisture if you want to prevent any damage to the waterproof coat.

Method 2: Waterproofing Wood with Wood Sealer

Using a wood sealer is yet another practical way for waterproofing wood. The advantages of wood sealers come from their outstanding waterproof capacity without leaving inconsistent surfaces behind. You get the smoothness and protection.

At the same time, you can recoat, re-sand, or simply paint the surface once you use a wood sealer. That’s why it is such an excellent option to go for.

Last but not least, waterproofing with a wood sealer offers another advantage: it dries up super-fast. In contrast with oils, sealants tend to be fast-drying, which allows you to use them in less than a day after application.

However, it is essential to remember that wood sealers can be highly toxic. So, you must take precautions if you want to prevent any unwanted damage. Wear your protective gear and work in a highly ventilated environment for a safer experience.

Without much further to say about them, here’s how to use wood sealers for waterproofing:

Get a Wood Sealer

First and foremost, make sure you get a wood sealer that genuinely fits your demands.

There are many types to go for, going from polyurethane to varnish, lacquer, and so on. We recommend varnish for its capacity to deliver a yellowing-free experience. It is also resistant to UV rays and can handle scratches and constant moisture. If you get marine varnish, then you get an even sturdier coat.

  • We recommend varnish for places that tend to be exposed to a lot of moisture.

Then you’ll find polyurethane. It offers one of the neatest and smoothest surfaces you can get. And sure enough, it provides high-gloss, low-gloss, soft sheen, and many other finishes as necessary. A polyurethane sealer is also utterly resistant and can last for years.

Lastly, you’ll find lacquer. This is the sturdiest of the three. Its scratch-resistant capacity and moisture resistance are outstanding. However, it tends to yellow over time, especially on light-colored woods. So, it is mostly recommended for darker woods.

  • Lacquer would be perfect for furniture and objects that you grab or move around consistently.

It is important to remember that all these sealers work differently. So, have these in mind before choosing:

  • They have specific purposes. Some of them are outdoor sealers, while others are floor sealers. Choose accordingly.
  • For bathrooms, there’s nothing better than marine sealers. This will probably be varnish, but you’re still free to pick whatever you prefer.
  • Always remember to check their application methods beforehand. You may want to be sure that you have all the tools as well as the environment necessary to do so.

Once you have the ideal wood sealer, then you’re ready to start applying it.

Prepare the Sealer

Before you apply anything, make sure you have the sealer ready to be applied. That means following the instructions on the bottle or container.

Usually, you just need to stir for a few minutes until the components mix thoroughly. Then you’ll be ready to spread it on the wood.

Apply a Coat

Now you can start setting up the sealer on the surface. We recommend using a paintbrush for the best results. This will make it a lot easier.

Here’s how to proceed:

  • Remove any remaining dust or debris on the wood surface. Use a damp cloth to clean it one last time before applying the sealer.
  • Now grab a paintbrush and start spreading the sealant on the wood surface. Remember to follow the wood grain as this will leave a neater result in the end.
  • Don’t let the product evaporate if you’re in a hot area. Remember that you need to be extra careful with these products as they may produce fumes and damage your lungs.

The first coat is now on the wood, and the piece is almost ready.

Let the Sealer Dry

Depending on the sealer you picked, you’ll have to let it dry.

  • Always follow the instructions that come with the sealer. Most sealers have a drying time of about 4 to 12 hours. You may need to let it dry for no less than 24 hours to make sure it is totally dry.
  • In the meantime, try to stay away from the surface you coated. Do not grab, touch, step over, or simply move.

After the time has passed, then you will get a shiny yet thin waterproofed surface to enjoy. But that’s not enough.

Clean the First Coat

Once the first coat dries up, you’re ready to clean it and get rid of the imperfections. For this, use a super-soft grit 320 sandpaper (or steel wool) and a damp cloth.

  • Before starting, read the product instructions. It will tell you exactly how to proceed.
  • If the sealer doesn’t have instructions, you will have to lightly sand the surface to get rid of the small inconsistencies.
  • Finish by cleaning with a damp cloth to get rid of the dry sealer residues behind.

Now, you’re ready to apply the second coat. You may not need to apply it in some cases.

Apply a Second Coat

The second coat will only be necessary if the wood piece is made of softwood and will be used continuously or exposed to moisture. But if it is made of hardwood and it’s not going to be exposed much, then a second coat may not be necessary.

Here’s how to apply it if you decide to:

  • Use the paintbrush to apply and spread around. This second coat will adhere less consistently to the wood as you will be applying it over another coat. So be careful not to spread too harshly.
  • While applying the second coat, focus on delivering an even finish. You should not let any inconsistency like over-applying or under spreading happen.

Once you’ve applied the second and last coat – you need to let the wood surface cure for some time.

Let It Cure

Curing a waterproof coat with sealant may take several days. But you shouldn’t worry too much.

  • Before placing the wood piece on its place or placing anything over it – make sure it is completely cured. We recommend waiting at least 24 hours. If you can let it cure for at least 48 hours, that would be even better.
  • Always follow the sealant instructions for better results. It will tell you how much time you need to wait for the curing process.
  • After it cures, then you’re ready to use it as you prefer. You may need to recoat after a year or so. Don’t hesitate to do it if you want to keep the wood waterproof and neat.

There’s nothing else to do – you’ve successfully applied the sealer to waterproof a wood surface in your bathroom.

Method 3: Waterproofing with Resin and Acetone

seal wood from water

Another way to waterproof wood finish is to use polyester resin and acetone.

This combination delivers one of the strongest results out there. The waterproof coats can last up to 5 years without problems. And sure enough, they will prevent even the slightest drop of moisture from getting into the wood.

Lastly, polyester resin alongside acetone dries up extremely fast (sometimes faster than wood sealers), so you get double the advantage. And because it is thin, the surface will end up super consistent and even, so there’s no need to sand.

Here’s how to proceed:

Get the Right Resin and Acetone

First and foremost, make sure you have the proper resin. You will have to pick between laminating resin and finishing resin.

The difference is that laminating resin lasts longer to dry up and often leaves a slightly softer surface. In contrast, finishing resin leaves a hard surface at first, while drying up a lot faster.

You could say that laminating resin is for the first few layers while finishing resins is for the last one. But you can go for either one you prefer. Or, if you want to do it correctly, then get both and laminate first.

Then you need the acetone. The whole purpose of acetone would be to thin up the mix a little. So, you won’t need much – just enough so the resin is easy to apply on the wood surface.

Then you’re ready to prepare the mixture.

Create the Mix

Now with the resin on your hands, you need to mix it with the acetone. Here’s how:

  • Pour some of the thick resin in a bowl or bucket. Calculate what you’re going to need for the whole wood surface.
  • Then add some acetone. Don’t add too much at first, slowly drip some and start mixing. Stop pouring acetone when the mix is only a bit thicker than water. If the mixture gets too thin, then add some more resin accordingly.
  • You’ll have to prepare this mixture again for the second coat, so don’t prepare too much.

With the mixture ready, you’ll be set to apply it.

Apply the Resin

Here, you will need a paintbrush. A soft-bristled brush or a paint roller will also work, especially if they’re old, and you won’t use them again. Proceed like this:

  • Grab the instrument for application and damp it on the mixture. Then start spreading it around the surface.
  • The thin mixture will be very squishy, so be careful when applying. Try to cover your arms and overall skin, so it doesn’t touch you.
  • Once you’ve applied the resin, you can let it dry. We recommend letting it dry for at least 30 minutes.

Once the first coat dries up, you can proceed to add the next one.

Reapply a Few More Coats

After letting the first coat dry, then you need to reapply at least 5 more times. Because the mixture is pretty thin, you’ll need to apply the coat several times for the best results.

Here’s how:

  • Reapply by preparing more mixture. Remember, the resin should get almost as thin as water. But a little thicker than that will also do the job, especially if you’re using laminating resin.
  • Let each coat of resin dry for at least 30 minutes. When adding the next layers, be careful not to scrub the surface instead of spreading the mix. If you scrub too hard, you may damage the previous layers.

After the last layer, you can add some liquid wax, so it achieves a shiny effect. Then you will have to wait for it to cure.

Let It Cure

Once you’ve applied everything, then you should let it cure completely. This will harden up the whole surface.

  • Because of how thin it is, the resin mixture will cure in only 6 hours. You may want to leave it alone for 12 hours if you want to make sure that it cures completely.
  • Then test it to see if it works by spraying some water over it. The wood shouldn’t be affected at all, and the surface should repel the water instead.

If yes, then you’ve successfully waterproofed a wooden piece with resin and acetone.

Method 4: Waterproofing with Stain and Varnish

The last and best way to make waterproof wood furniture is to use stain and varnish. While varnish is actually a wood sealer, pairing it up with stain delivers a totally different effect – so we had to add it as an additional method.

This happens because varnish naturally leaves an outstandingly shiny effect. And with stain, it makes the wood look darker, which adds a uniquely beautiful effect.

The waterproof effect of varnish with stain is decent. And sure enough, they dry up outstandingly fast, which results in one of the most convenient methods.

Here’s how this works:

Get a Stain and Varnish

You’ll find several types of varnish and stain to get. So, we recommend searching correctly.

Some stains are interior-grade while others are for exteriors. Be sure to pick the right one according to the type of bathroom furniture or object you’re covering.

You may also want to pick between darker and lighter tones. It is up to you, depending on the finish color you want to achieve and the type of wood you’re covering. We usually recommend slightly darker tones than wood.

At the same time, you may not need to get a stain and varnish in different batches. You may find stain-sealant products out there that offer both products mixed already. This adds an extra touch of convenience, so you won't have to prepare the mixture eventually.

Prepare the Mixture (If Necessary)

Mixing the varnish with the stain is not too hard. Just follow this process:

  • Calculate in your head how much varnish you’ll need to cover the whole surface. Then pour it on a bucket or bowl.
  • Now add a few drops of stain. Don’t add too much as it could end up thinning the varnish and making it super hard to apply later. So be careful.
  • Mix the varnish and stain until the mix changes color entirely to something between the color of the varnish and the stain.

Now you’re ready to start applying the mix.

Apply the First Coat

Again, you’ll need a paintbrush or something of the like. This will help you apply the mixture more easily on the wooden surface.

  • Slowly dip the paintbrush on the mixture. Then start brushing it on the wood surface in an evenly way.
  • If it is a large surface, then try following the grain, so it looks better in the long run.

Once you’ve covered the whole surface, then you’ll need to let it dry. Four hours will be enough.

Remove the Excess

After the first coat has dried, then you should get rid of the excess and residues. Here’s how:

  • Find a piece of fine-grit sandpaper, 220 or greater. Then wipe it across the wooden surface softly, getting rid of inconsistencies and excess of varnish.
  • Leave the smoothest surface you can so the second coat can make the surface more even. This will also help it to stick easily.
  • Finish by cleaning with a slightly damp cloth. Try to get rid of any residues, dust, or debris on the surface.

Now you can apply the second coat.

Apply the Second Coat

The second coat will be a little more challenging to apply because the surface is already smooth. But it shouldn’t be too hard either.

  • Apply following the same process for the first coat. But this time, try being even more careful as not to spread the varnish too much. Try doing it super softly.
  • Let the second coat of stain dry for at least 5 hours afterward. If you can let it dry for a little more until the coat is not sticky anymore, then that’s even better.
  • After the second coat, you may apply a third one if you feel like it. This will add an even thicker waterproof layer, so you receive double the protection.

This coat will make the wood look totally different (probably darker) and will deliver a decent waterproof effect.

Let It Cure

After applying the final coat, you will need to let the whole surface dry for at least three (3) days. This will make it sturdy and make sure you can start using it without problems.

  • Test the surface by spraying some water over it after a few days. If the wood repels it, then you’ve successfully applied the waterproof coat into the wood.
  • If it is a floor or similar place with lots of traffic or constant friction, we recommend letting the varnish/stain dry for at least 5 up to 7 days.

Now you can enjoy the whole wooden surface with full waterproof capacity. You won’t be disappointed.

How to Protect Wood from Water in Bathroom

From learning how to seal the wood from water to preserving timber and making it last longer – protecting wood eventually becomes an essential thing to do. Here are a few ways to do that:

1. Oil and Lemon/Vinegar

It seems counterintuitive, but it works.

Adding standard cooking oil with some vinegar or lemon into a mixture will deliver one of the most wood-preserving liquids out there. Not only it protects against water damage, but they also preserve the wood and make it smell a lot better.

Especially if you have stains on the wood, this will be a perfect way to clean it as well. Just prepare some by adding oil and lemon with some vinegar into a sprayer and then pour it on the stained wood. Then wipe it off to get rid of the stains. It should work wonders.

2. Fix Issues at Once

Did a pipe break inside your bathroom? Then don’t let it stay broken for long.

Is your sink spraying water around too harshly? Then fix the water pressure, so it doesn’t spread that much.

Whatever the issue could be, make sure you can fix it before it’s too late. Letting most water issues in your bathroom happen for too long can be detrimental, especially to wood.

3. Waterproof Consistently

We showed you several methods to make waterproof wood that can last several years each. But still, you should waterproof again every once in a while.

A thin coat of waterproof material will be enough for every year or two. That will keep the waterproof capacity at max and prevent any type of water damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Now that you’re done with the bathroom furniture waterproofing process, let's solve some of your doubts. Here are common questions most people make about waterproofing wood:

1. How Long does it Take for the Waterproof Coat to Cure?

Ans: It depends on the type of coat you’re using. Oils may require up to 14 days to cure completely. Sealers tend to cure in a day or two. Varnish requires up to a week. And resin with acetone cures in 24 hours or even less.

2. Will these Waterproof Methods Last?

Ans: Yes, they will last at least one year with constant use. We recommend recoating at least once every two years because of that, so you can keep the wood surfaces protected.

3. Can I use These Waterproofing Methods on Other Materials?

Ans: Yes. Polyester resin, for example, is a common alternative for covering concrete floors and other surfaces.

4. Are these Methods for Waterproofing Wood Safe?

Are these Methods for Waterproofing Wood Safe

They’re safe as long as you take the proper precautions. Use your safety glasses, gloves, boots, pants, and mask to stay safe.

If you got here, it means you’ve read the entire article, and it also means you’ve learned how to waterproof wood for bathroom.

And all that means it is time to take action. Pick the ideal method, get the materials, and start coating those wood surfaces now.

You won’t regret waterproofing your bathroom wooden furniture or surfaces. It will make everything last a long time!

The Duke of York celebrates the UK's Science, Technology and Engineering Sector

Published 13 June 2018

The Duke of York has spent the day visiting a range of businesses and organisations that are part of the UK's growing Science, Technology and Engineering sector.

The Duke of York started his day by visiting Bayer at their base in Reading, where he met local school children who were learning more about STEM subjects at Baylab.

Baylab, which is run by Bayer, is a free laboratory for schools that offers state-of-the-art equipment to encourage an interest in science among young people at an early age.

For a number of years, His Royal Highness has been promoting and raising awareness of British science, technology and engineering expertise.  Find out more on The Duke of York's website.

The Duke then travelled to Harwell Campus, which is a 610 acre site in Didcot, Oxfordshire that houses over £2 billion of world-leading research infrastructure. His Royal Highness has been Patron of the Science of Technology Facilities Council Harwell and Daresbury Campus's since 2010.

His Royal Highness was able to hear from five of the companies that are currently based at the campus in the 'Harwell Space Cluster'.

The Harwell Space Cluster was the first cluster to be established at Harwell Campus following the arrival of the European Space Agency, Satellite Applications Catapult and UK Space Agency, alongside the longstanding activities of STFC RAL Space. Since 2010 the Harwell Space Cluster has grown from a handful to more than 80 space organisations today, employing over 800 people.

Next, The Duke travelled to Williams Advanced Engineering. Originally formed in 1977 by Sir Frank Williams and Sir Patrick Head as a Formula One team and an advanced engineering company, the company now operates a technology and engineering services business.

Williams harness the know-how and expertise learnt in Formula One, such as aerodynamics, advanced lightweight materials, electrification, simulation and training, and full vehicle integration, and apply them to applications outside of motorsport to promote advanced engineering that promotes a sustainable future.

The visit finished with Williams Advanced Engineering being presented with a Queen's Award for Enterprise.

The day finished with The Duke visiting Peking University HSBC Business School.

Founded in 1898, Peking University is China's oldest institution of higher learning and the opening of the Oxford campus marks the University's 120th anniversary.
