Like any 'Ole Soak' it's not easy for a wet bowl to dry out. They both
have to want to for the process to work, but it has been done by many drunks and woodturners. I recognize the difference. I've never sent a wet bowl to AA, but it's a thought and not much worse than some other timber drying methods. They all have their zealous missionaries so it's a matter of choosing (or refusing) any sect. Guess I should at least get my bowl cleaned up in LDD before it attends its first AA meeting.

I have done extensive soakings in both LDD (soap) and DNA. I can't
tell that there is any effect at all with either in drying time, wood movement, or less cracking. The DNA soaking does tend to make the wood a bit harder to sand out, and the LDD does make it a lot easier to sand out. I do turn my bowls to final thickness (about 1/4 to 3/8 thick), soak, let dry and warp (about 10 days), then sand and finish. If you rough turn and then soak, it may make some difference, but that isn't my style. Mostly, if it is cracking, then you are drying too fast, and if it is molding, then you are drying too slow. robo hippy On Dec 16, 6:59 am, (Arch) wrote: Like any 'Ole Soak' it's not easy for a wet bowl to dry out.
