Wood Burning with Ammonium Chloride Trial and Error

Experiment with different woods to see if one works better than another.

Always test a sample of the wood you intend to use.

Here are a few suggestions based on our first time using Ammonium chloride: If this was a ‘real’ project and not just a test, I’d be disappointed about that. However, you can also see a fair amount of bleeding along the grain of the wood. But I continued and got a great dark effect. I could have stopped with just a light shade. Keep the gun moving around don’t keep it in any one spot for too long. I set the heat gun to the highest setting (4). Once the xanthan gum is well dissolved, grab a detail brush…īrush the solution onto the parts that are still bare wood and let dry. We actually keep a separate one just for mixing paint etc., so give it a try! To combat the issue, one reader gave the Xanthan gum/ammonium chloride solution a few pulses with the immersion blender and it thickened right up. It didn’t get as thick as I would have liked to prevent runs. I shook it, stirred it and let it sit to absorb. However, Xanthan gum does not dissolve well in liquid and it just got lumpy.

No thank you! So I substituted Xanthan gum which is a thickener we use in our gluten free recipes. Thicken Up is a great buy in the States at under $10, but in Canada it’s a whopping $30 on Amazon.

Online research shows that most people are using a ratio of 1 tablespoon of ammonium chloride to half a cup of water. We recommend doing this outdoors in a well ventilated area and using gloves, goggles and even a respirator if you are sensitive. Then we let it dry.Īlthough ammonium chloride is used as a food additive in ‘salty liquorice’, it’s mildly acidic so can cause eye, skin, and respiratory system irritation. Two light coats of waterbased exterior clear coat was applied. Once the design (our logo) was cut we took it outside to spray with a clear sealer. Again, I think a better quality vinyl might be key – and using a Cricut will save time! But I thought cutting by hand into the wood itself would eliminate the possibility of seepage underneath the vinyl. You could use a Cricut vinyl cutting machine to cut your stencil. I started with a piece of shelf liner from the dollar store as my vinyl sticker and cabinet grade plywood.

Cricut (optional – can cut by hand instead).

Where to Buy Ammonium Chloride for Wood Burning If you think our instructions have a lot of detail, you should see all the behind the scenes work that goes into perfecting each step! That’s so we can be assured you’ll get the same outcome if you try one of our projects yourself 😉. Hubs and I do a lot of hands on research before we even ‘start’ a project and wood burning with ammonium chloride is no exception. It’s a great opportunity to take you through the trials and tribulations of a potential project in the making! Today we’re focussing in on our process by testing out wood burning with ammonium chloride.
