What’s on your lathe?

I suspect you would have better results with waiting several weeks or more. Anything that has penetrated is going to take longer to polymerize (particularly after surface polymerization).

I suspect you're right.....

I also suspect it could take much longer than several weeks!

The Watco DO info says it "seals" the wood and hardens. That is the prescription for a longer wait I think.....

Anyway, I have another spalted bowl that I'm going to try using a thinned Titebond III wood glue as a medium instead of the DO.

Stay tuned....

Among the most beautiful pieces of Padauk I’ve worked. Will be part of a flower-like sculpture in the end.

You’re not going to paint that beautiful piece of wood are you????

I thought about saying “too bad it’s going to be covered with paint” as a joke. Definitely not painting this beauty. Will do a lot of carving though
