- etaioinshrdlu 6y agoExcept NileRed didn't heat and compress the wood afterward, and removed all the lignin. The article mentions only removing some lignin.
- kortex 6y agoRight, it seems the first step is analogous - breaking down the lignin with base and sulfite. But instead of impregnation with resin, the wood is squished and heated to re-form the crosslinking bonds.
