FunFlames Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I am in the market for some UV stabilizer. I went onto JBN's site to check out there liquid dyes. I figured while there and having to pay shipping, I'd pick it up from them. Had a little heart flutter when I saw the price for the quantity. I did a little research and from what they say, you end up using less of theirs than other brands. So the price really isn't that far off. On to the reason I posted.... has anyone found that one UV is stronger than another? If so, what brand did you end up going with.TIADanielleETA: also how many pounds of wax would a 2oz supply treat?

ChrisR Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I've tried many UV stabilizers over the years and there is a big difference in some of them, as some don't address both UV rays. I personally like Genwax's the best and BC's is a good one also, but I ended up using more per lb. No one can tell you how much 2 oz. will cover, as some colors require more to prevent fading. For blues, purples and some reds I use 1/2 tsp./lb. and most other colors I use 1/8 tsp./lb. You'll just have to test JBN's to see if it works for you. Yes it is pretty spendy stuff, but well worth it in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunFlames Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 ChrisRJBN suggested 1/8 - 1/2 tsp also. It says it's a UV stabilizer and absorber. It there a way to find out if it covers both types of uv rays?ThanksDanielle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
