Welcome to the forum Greg. I am just getting started turning wood myself. Been thinking about a bowl kiln, also looking into small scale vacuum drying.

It's been a wile since I updated. I looked at my blanks today and have decided to officially end the experiment. The untreated blank has one crack completely through. (the 4 o'clock position in the week three photo)

The SOAP blank has several cracks completely through.

My conclusion is that the SOAP does not work under the conditions I tried.

I noticed earlier in this thread, somone was looking for a bigger pot to boil in.  May I suggest a beer keg with the top cut off.  I have a set of these I use for homebrewing, and they'd probably hold more than a few blanks each.
