Maybe you misunderstood, or I did for that matter (and it sure wouldn't be the first time...LOL) But I was referring to the vessel being under a vacuum, and that this would cause the wood to expand...

Just a thought, but wouldn't lowering the pressure on the wood in a solution allow the wood pores to expand and allow the solution to penetrate?

back to the matter at hand, did you use a brake bleeder type vacuum pump?

Well, what would you expect from us on a rainy Friday afternoon, sympathy Nancy???
