Ken posted elsewhere. http://www.woodcentral.com/cgi-bin/turning.pl?read=164565

It's discussed here, http://nautarch.tamu.edu/class/anth605/File6.htm and the reasons are the same as why you get lumps in your sugar bowl. Haven't tried caramelizing with external sugar, but heating up a chunk of sugar-laden maple will give a mellow brown.

Anyone played this game by adding a hygroscopic bulking agent less than full greasy PEG?

I think Ken needs to re-read his contract, it strictly prohibits him from posting elsewhere!

Just kidding.

Yikes, I failed to read the fine print

I would have posted that here and probably first, but for some strange reason the router firewall in the house I'm visiting at blocks the AAW site to my computer! I could ask my host (my sister and BIL) to look into it and I can get on their computer for short periods if necessary but didn't want to bother them. I'll be home tonight however and will check out that site, thanks MM. Just thought that sugar thing was an interesting tidbit to share and maybe worth trying out. Maybe, maybe...
