RE: Sealing Engine Bay Area ?
Agree with the above--before you seal anything, you need to get as much of that oil out as you can. Pull the covering back a little, and see how far it's soaked. Use the K9 if you can find it, or just use a heat gun on the area. The oil will come to the top, and you can literally wipe it off. Repeat until the wood is dry. Another way is corn starch mixed with alcohol. Brush on, wipe off when dry. Will soak the oil out of the wood. Will take several applications, though! Once dry, then seal it off. Use epoxy--30 min will do fine. Blob some on, and hit it with a heat gun. It will thin immediately, and you can brush it all around. remember, though, when using this method, it will cure much faster, so don't use anything less than 30 minute! Works like a charm...
