Wood consolidation

Does anyone have experience with the use of Abatron products "Liquid
Wood" and "WoodEpox" for the consolidation and stabilization of
rotted wood that must remain exposed to the weather? As part of a
CAP assessment, I am looking for a reasonable solution to suggest
for the treatment of large maritime objects that were recovered from
Lake Superior, allowed to dry with no treatment or controls (this
was before my involvement), and are now in varying degrees of
punkiness. The objects are too large to be housed in the Museum,
although I am suggesting that at least a shed roof be constructed to
shield them from rain and snow. I have also suggested they begin the
debate as to how significant these objects actually are. But my
feeling is that they are to be treated as instructive/decorative
examples, where the main goal is simply that they do not fall apart.
It seems that architectural stabilization/restoration is the most
applicable paradigm, as opposed to pure object conservation. Any
suggestions, opinions, and insights will be appreciated,
