Hi Elevater!
Assuming that Minwax products are sold in Spain, look for Minwax High Performance Wood Hardner.
It works great on spalted wood.Cheers,
Ed

spalted wood(wood turning)
Hi Ed Reiss
No the Minwax are after my knowledge not sold in Spain, do you know if there are any homepage, so maybe I can trace it that way, but thanks any way

The web site is http://www.minwax.com
Send them an e-mail, perhaps they can put you in touch with a distributor in your area.
Good luck.Cheers,
Ed

Was there mention of shellac as a wood stabalizer too? Seem to remember reading that. Won't hold the big chunks on I guess, but well prolly harden those spongy spots.

Yep TL, quite right ... weak solution, or else my fave which Skew hates is NC sanding sealer diluted 50/50 with paint thinners - esp with any timber you don't want darkened beyond the absolute min., and a priori that means any timber with any kind of spalting figure !!
Cheers, Ern

I wouldn't go so far as to say "hates"... although it's very low down on my list. Now, CA... that I'm growing to hate! (Although I still use it.)
CA has the advantage of good penetration & quick drying, which would probably be the most important criteria when it comes to stabilising punky wood..
Most of the other substances mentioned here (sanding sealer, shellac, PVA, etc.) work well for what they are, but don't get in deep unless used in conjunction with a pressure- or vacuum-pot. And that sort of penetration leads to other problems... it takes time and a lot of it, for the substance of choice to cure.
One can, of course, wait for the outside to dry and then turn away the cured section, leaving the next exposed layer to cure and repeat until finished. but if you're doing that, what's the point of "stabilising" in the first place? If it's still wet, it ain't binding... DAMHIKT.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to do some research on duct tape's effectiveness in UFO prevention.

Well, now that we've managed to thoroughly confuse Elevather ..... onward to the duct tape thing....Skew, have found that tin pie plates work very well against UFO's, and, also make for great frisbees!
BTW Elevather, just having a bit of fun...the forum can get pretty crazy at times (especially with woodturners).Cheers,
Ed

Hi Ed Reiss+Skew ChiDAMN!!
There must be something that have past my mind, or that some thing that have been going on before I entered the wwf.

Boomerangs....of course!!
Valther, me-thinks your going to fit right into the forums
The pie plates and frisbees reference was only my poor, pathetic attempt at making a joke ....and aside from that, hope you got some idea on how to stabilize the bad areas of that spalted wood from the info presented by the forumites.Cheers,
Ed

Hi ED
Yes I´ve got many different s, and it sound like they can be used all, but I´m not sure it is wise to try them all in one go
