Pentacryl use on log cookies
The product worked well. I applied it with a brush, and did multiple applications over several days. It was a little difficult to tell if the wood was saturated with the product. Brush clean-up with soap and water between applications worked well.
The cookies are now drying, so the effectiveness (or lack of) will be evident in the next few months.

Pentacryl Wood Preservative
Works great when the directions are followed. Apply as soon as reasonably possible after cutting the wood, and apply it liberally.

Great product!
I used this product to prepare a large slab of pine in preparation to making an outdoor patio table.
The product was easy to apply and I am pleased with the outcome.

Green birch
I used Pentacryl wood preservative on birch center pieces that I made for my daughters wedding.
My purpose was to try and avoid the wood from splitting and cracking while it dried.
I made 18 eight inch center pieces and only two of the pieces developed minor cracks.
I give this product 5 stars

Log circles
I cut a tree to make log circles for my wife to make wedding centerpieces on. They look good but I hope they don't crack or the bark come off before the wedding. Easy product to use. But a little pricey. Cheaper than buying them ready-made.

Great for Greenwood in most situations
I've used a lot of methods to preserve wood and this one works very well. I only gave it 4 stars because it doesn't work as well as some of them much much slower methods. Still a great product and I will use it for 90% of my projects.

Pinterest showed making Christmas ornaments from wood chips - this product is supposed to prevent the wood from cracking. I hope!

What is the difference between PEG and Pentacryl? I am trying to make tables from green cut disks of oak, maple and popular.
BEST ANSWER: Look up polyethylene glycol in Wikipedia (registered TM). There is some information about elements being toxic, but a lot has to do with the percentage by volume. The article also discusses its properties include effective displacement of water and does go into detail about the underwater wooden vessels that have been preserved using PEG.
Besides the chemical make-up, there may not be much difference in the effectiveness of either product. However, before you lay out your cash, you may want to contact the manufacturer(s) directly.
Hope this helped.

We have wooden fence posts that we'd like to preserve from the Sun would this work to help from future sun damage?
BEST ANSWER: No. This is to preserve green wood. There are much less expensive ways to preserve fence posts. Look for a wood sealer

I'm making wood rounds (slices) for my daughter's wedding. I need a product to protect from cracking. The rounds will be 1.5 to 2 inches thick and 12 inches in diameter. How much Petracryl do I need for 16 wood slices?
BEST ANSWER: I am air drying a large about 36 inch round and it took about 3/4 of a bottle to coat both sides until saturation.

I've already primed and painted the huge fir corbel that continues to crack. Can I brush this product in the cracks then repaint or do I have to strip all the primer/paint off first?
