I have used the heat the wood in the oven and epoxy sealing method. I like it a lot and use it on soft woods. I was wondering if anyone has done it, heating the wood first that is, when sealing in Spar Urethane, BLO, Val oil, type sealers. I would think a nice warm piece of wood would absorb more sealer, no ? Or is this wasted time as sealing room temp wood would be plenty good enough. I may never try it but I was just curious if any had and what their conclusions were.
