Abstract
The technique of rapidly drying antique wood after saturation treatment with polyethylene glycol has yielded two further advantages: the ease with which excess PEG drains from the wood if it is left in hot air and the absence of crystals of fungicide (boracic acid) on the surfaces. Details of the treatment are given elsewhere (see International Journal of Nautical Archaeology, 1984, 13, 235-237).
