A wood fortifier. This a concentrated, low molecular weight polymer that will fill and strengthen soft, punky or spalted wood. It will dry clear and will not yellow. Polycryl is water-soluble. Brush or soak your wood - it will penetrate without using a vacuum.


DIRECTIONS: The wood should be rough-carved or turned first to obtain the best results. Add 1 part Polycryl to 4 parts hot water and mix well. It is important to use a weak solution at first to obtain maximum penetration.

  • Soaking method: Soak wood in the diluted solution overnight or until wood is completely saturated. Once saturated, place wood in a full-strength solution of Polycryl. Let the wood remain in the solution for at least one week. Large pieces may take longer. Once wood is saturated with Polycryl, remove from the solution, drain and dry slowly in an unheated, cool area.
  • Brushing method: When a piece of wood to be treated is too large for soaking, Polycryl can be brushed on. First, brush on the diluted Polycryl solution until the wood is saturated. Cover the wood with plastic to prevent drying between applications. Once the wood has been saturated with the diluted solution, apply a full-strength solution of Polycryl. Brush on as much Polycryl as the wood will absorb and cover with plastic. Repeat this process until the wood is completely saturated. This may take a week or more of repeated applications. It is important to keep the wood wrapped in plastic during the treatment process. Remove the plastic to allow the wood to dry slowly in an unheated, cool area.
