Pentacryl is a wood stabilizer used by woodcarvers, woodturners, builders and furniture makers to keep green wood from cracking, checking and splitting during the drying processPentacryl will speed the drying time by approximately 30% because it displaces the waterWill not discolor the wood or affect finishing; urethane varnishes, lacquers, tung oil, linseed oil, analine dyes, oil stains, and waxes all have been successfully usedShrinkage is reduced up to 600% depending on the orientation of the wood grain, quarter grain shrinks less than flat grain.Immersion and soaking in a 100% solution of Pentacryl is preferred but excellent results are still obtained by using the brushing method
I concur. New, sharp bit and a router table with shallow passes.
OP, are you using a hardener for the spalt? Thin superglue works as well as a water based stabilizer like Pentacryl.
