    I'd be afraid to try heating the entire table, too. Titebond yellow glues lose most of their strength at 150F. Franklin doesn't say how much is lost at 135 - 140F, but I would imagine it's similar, so I wouldn't do it. I'd be OK doing it with 2-part glues though. Just to answer the question, I think nearly any finish would be fine up to 150F, and likely quite a bit higher, as long as nothing was sitting on it.

    I agree, fumigating or another chemical process is likely the best option.

    Pesky buggers! That is a darn shame. It happens a lot. I suspect corners were cut when it was "Kiln Dried". I agree with the others that taking it to 150* now will ruin it.
