Google it and look at the non-GW sites. It is expensive but if you
are into a lot of wood impregnation, or have friends that will split
the cost, it might be OK.

interesting stuff seems overpriced but they are a specialty business and
not geared toward consumers

i did a cost benefit analysis and decided that using a two part resin
is the way to go

will just use less catalyst to slow setup time


Here is what he said:
"The stabilizer he prefers is called Godfrey Wing 95-1000A. It costs
about $450 for 5 gallons. The stabilizer consists of 2 parts, but must
be heated to set. The stabilizer once mixed can be stored up to 2 years
in a fridge until it is used. The purpose of a stabilizer is to take a
piece that would normally just fall apart and to cast it into a solid
piece. Once cast the piece can be cut,
turned, carved, etc. and it will still hold together as one piece."
