    Tasman,
    Peg has several uses in the treatment of timber, especially water logged timber, see this article of the raising of the Vasa
    http://www.abc.se/~pa/publ/vasa.htm

    But it can leave an oily residue that is not very friendly to a lot of conventional finishes,

    Look at the the third paragraph from the bottom
    http://www.customwooddesign.com/turninggreenwood-1.html

    and for a bit more
    http://owic.oregonstate.edu/pubs/peg.pdf

    Consider using Meths [DNA in the US of A] or liquid dishwashing soap. Its far cheaper than PEG and you will find a lot of info on this forum on the use of meths or soap.
