Has anybody used it much?

 

[Larry Davis]

For what purpose?

Looks interesting. You could order it in a 55 gallon drum and dip a whole bass in it!!

Looks like it might be a good solution to stabilize burled woods. Other than that, what would it be used for?

 

[Larry Davis]

No..it would not be a good solution to "stabilize" burls.

The word "stabilize" has been so hi jacked and mis applied it has no meaning. The term is used to describe everything from soaking wood in wood hardener to applying super glue. Often nothing to do with acrylic polymer and ester infused wood polymer composites

This stuff would treat the surface moderately well but the penetration would be negligent.

Correct me if I am wrong Larry - but you acryrlize your wood assuring deep penetration (giggity).

 

[bassteban]

IME it's the wood that does the actual deep penetration.
Beyond that, Pentacryl sounds like a ripping metal band name.
Forgive me, TB elders- it's a slow Friday night at the Bassteban ranch...

Although wood is not a requirement for deep penetration, it is a handy tool. giggity..I'm stealing that word...

why is it I never expected that from Larry, or my mind "IS" the gutter....one of the 2:scowl:

Thanks I am getting a piece of Spalted maple that was soaked in it shipped to me to test out and I was wondering about feedback from anybody that had actually used it.

Hope everybody enjoys the holidays....Tom

Let us know what you think when you get the sample Tom.

Usually with spalted maple, one is looking to harden all the rotten bits, so that it can be worked more like a "normal" wood. Right?

In that case, reading the site, the Pentacryl is the wrong product. It is to prevent a green wood from cracking while drying. There is nothing there about stiffening already-dried wood.

From the lumber guy's perspective, maybe Pentacryl would be a good thing to use. But from the end user's perspective, look at the Polycryl product. I think it may be what you want.

Polycryl is a wood fortifier that will fill and strengthen soft, punky, or spalted wood. Turning and carving will be easier and cleaner.

That Polycryl seems interesting.
