Polyethylene Glycol is dissolved in water. Wood is treated by submersing into the PEG/ water mix. 10 lb. container (10 lbs. will make 15.4 quarts of a 30 percent solution or 8.48 quarts of a 50 percent solution).

Did not dissolve. product was a block in the bucket that had to be pried out. I used hot water and then even boiled the water after it didn’t dissolve. I then cut it into pieces with a saw to help it dissolve and it’s still a block two hours later. Making wedding centerpieces which will crack soon and will have to pay to get remade.

Terrible! Don't waste your time or money! We have lost a lot of product because of this. It does not hold up. Save yourself the headache and the time and find something else.

I used this to cure an apple stump about 4" thick. Took about 6 weeks and worked great. It does have limitations on finishes. Make sure you read and understand those limitations. Once I dissolved the PEG in hot water I also added a water-soluble wood die (Trans TInt) that stained the wood at the same time as the cure.This PEG product prevented all checking, it also cured some the checks that were present before it was treated. It swells the wood to close on small checks that developed from drying. It won't close up large cracks that were present when the wood was green. When I cut the stump it began checking within a day, once I noticed this I kept it wet with water until I was able to get this product. I was really surprised to see all the small checks disappear.After the cure I allowed the wood to dry another two months. Then I applied an Epoxy finish that bonded well to the wood. No stain or oils were used.

While it does seem to help the green wood survive the drying process after turning, it dramatically changed the colors in the wood grain. And that was really disappointing. Will be rethinking whether we want to use it on future projects.

worked well on some wood but other still split, plus it has a bad tendency to mold and discolor the wood
