Does any one have a suggestion for removing moisture from deteriorated wood before using wood consolidant epoxies and epoxie fillers to restore damaged components? I have used denatured alcohol to saturate the wood and allow it to evaporate. This seems to speed up the process a bit, but It would be ...
