While this may not be for your average wood coloring person ... because of my business I color lots of wood. For years now, I've always have fought the part of keeping the wood submersed under the water for my 10 minutes or so. When I color I have had the wire 1/8" mesh cut into a circular pattern butthen the edges start weakening and such plus often it needed weight on top of it and I had only made up 3 of them and I have 7 buckets of coloring that I use.
So one night I researched many ways and many options and something I could make up and would be easy to use and easy to clean and not cost a bundle of money. So my adventure lead me into many paths of oh this would work ... no, that's not good and it was just one thing or another that I did not like about so many things.
So finally, I found my perfect thing!! Take a look at my images and while you may not be able to picture how it is used, I can explain further and the image shows and explains on what it is I've done and used.
I will take one of these for each color and by using the pvc handle with it attached to the pan part I can submerse the pan under the water and it will fit snuggly against the wall of the bucket so nothing sneaks past the pan and floats to the top of the water, this has always been a big issue in coloring wood. So then when my wood is ready to take out, I just life up on the handle of the thing and pull up out of the water and wa-la!! Then I drain my wood!!
