Good points -

Suggest save the wood and then low bake for a while - then seal with a good sealer.
Low temp might be 150 degrees or 100 degrees F. Caution - check the temp specs
of the final product of PEG.

Also - PEG is hygroscopic - but once it converts and drys out it should be good.

That is it - Poly ethylene Glycol PEG.
The Glycol replaces the water and deposits Poly ethylene- a.k.a. plastic -
where the water was.



Sort of. Try http://nautarch.tamu.edu/class/anth605/File6.htm for a good
run-down.

What's bad about PEG is that it is strongly hygroscopic, something which
comes in handy when I soak mallets in it - gives a great elbow-easing dead
blow with the softened wood - but is a liability when it comes time to try
and get a finish to work on it.
