Speaking of immersion. That was suggested by someone I know and would be doable with a smaller board that would fit in, say, a sink. However, this one would need a bathtub and 20 litres of mineral oil. I thought about a heavy duty bag tied pretty tight around the board, and then try soaking it that way. It works for brining a turkey...
Will try the glue/vacuum/clamps, then sand and maybe bag-soak

If you end up sanding be sure to spritz with water and let dry to raise your grains. I do it after I finish sanding at 320. Spritz, dry and a quick re sand at 320 and it should be good after it gets wet the first time.
You can buy 4L of mineral oil at UFA in Airdrie for about $30. I use that and a shallow Rubbermaid tub to soak mine.
