No matter what you use the salt will find its way out of the wood and the situation will repeat itself. Browning never found a way to deal with the salt in salt wood, therefor salt wood was replaced. A new stock though pricey is a permanent fix, attempting to seal the salt in the wood will eventually fail and entail another fix. It's a pay me now or pay me later kind of situation, throwing good money after bad with repeated repairs just simply doesn't make any sense. Do as you please but don't say you weren't warned.
