I got an old pressure cooker at a yardsale, cheap. Installed and old truck tire valve and pressure gauge on the lid. Put the plastic uncured denture inside it and used a hand air pump to put the air in it. I was wondering if this same pressure cooker could be used to treat wood? :? I was just looking around and found this site that may help?

It's looks like a do-it-yourself way to stabilize woods the cheap way. Hope it helps?

Nemo and I have discussed using a pressure cooker to treat materials. I believe it would work. Let us know!
