forther 'P.E.G.' mentions...

Hi Michael, all...



I imagine, a judicous application or saturation of 'P.E.G.'
would also answer for the tender attentions as intend a
preseveration of various 'bog-mummies', 'ice-mummies' ,
'sand-mummies' or other sundry sorts of mummies generally,
which otherwise are known to disappointingly decay or
deteriorate once disturbed from their in-situ or long held
of dessicated or other patient liesures.

As far as the stabalizeing or preservative effects for
('green' or Ancient) Wood, the Wood is bathed prolongedly,
or, immersed...in a liquid version of the P.E.G. so that the
pores of the Wood's internal structure are filled with
essentially the plastic-like conjealing to some hardness of
glycol material, thence preventing the collapse afterward,
of the tubular cell-wall's tunnels which 'collapse' we might
call shrinkage, as well.
And for ancient Wood, to preserve against decay and collapse
from micro-organisms as well as from dessication as would
ruin it from it's usually quite frail and delicate state...
