Does PENTACRYL have to be absorbed all the way through the wood to be effective?
PENTACRYL does not always have to be absorbed all the way through the wood to be effective. Some woods that are quite stable may only require several coatings to the end grain, while other woods with wild grain, tension or those that are unstable such as fruitwoods, require full saturation. Wood that is surface treated only will not develop uneven drying or radical shrinkage. PENTACRYL will allow moisture to pass through it. A determination will have to be made as to whether or not to completely saturate the wood by the individual user.
