That Crystalac sounds like the Elmers wood putty, if it's water based does water dissolve it again once' it's dried? That's one good thing about that Elmers stuff is you can clean the excess off off with warm water and a rag.
Just out of curiousity but was it recommended to seal the wood first before applying Crystalac? I was just thinking that if it went on top of raw wood then the dryness of the wood would draw the moisture out straight away.
Regards
