    Norm,

    I don't see how WEST is a lie, it does what it says it does. Never have I seen in there literature that wood is fully saturated. WEST saturates the surface, forming a barrier. The assumption is that the wood inside maintaines it's moisture content and is therefore stable.

     WEST's literature does not state or imply that wood is fully saturated to the core, that would be an obvious lie. You can't even do that with pressure treatment.
