Carving or turning green wood is certainly faster and easier than working with
dry stock. But sometimes the extra work involved with slowly and carefully
drying the wood to avoid checking hardly seems worth the trouble. Not any
more! Pentacryl is a revolutionary new product that combats the negative
effects of drying by displacing water and moisture in the wood fibers. Your
wood will dry quicker and more evenly, and the Pentacryl residue even
lubricates your tools as you work. This non-toxic solution doesnt stain the
wood or affect finishing in any manner. The recommended method of application
is total immersion, but the product can also be brushed or sprayed. Compared
to the traditional wax coating method, youll find the drying time reduced by
as much as 90 with Pentacryl. On average, a green 6" x 6" x 2" bowl blank
would absorb 2 ounces of solution, be fully saturated in a week, and, if
turned thin, dry in about three weeks.
