Woodturners turn some pretty punky wood. For small areas

Thanks to all for the replies. Looks like a couple recommendations for
cyanoacrylate. That would require a lot of superglue though.

but for larger stuff there's a product I
think is called pentacryl or something like that. Immerse, soak
for several hours, dry and turn.


Thanks. I found this:
http://www.woodnshop.com/PENTACRYL.htm

It looks like Polycryl would be closer to this app. Also, it says
Pentacryl could take from 2 weeks to a couple years to dry (!) so
that's not good. Not sure about drying time for Polycryl.

That's the kind of product that I was thinking of though.
