From what I've tried, a torch, alcohol misting ( like from a spray bottle) or even better, a heat gun, works amazingly, I don't have a heat gun, so I use a hair dryer on high for a couple of minutes and give it a rest because sometimes hair dryers like to reset the outlets in my house. But if you have access to a heat gun, and you do it outside, it works better than and is safer that the torch/ mini flamethrower. But if you're doing small resin castings, a mini torch whole be alright to use, but it doesn't always get rid of the air bubbles.

Now the question is how to protect it, because pine, from my experience in woodshop classes, takes damage easily depending on what happens to it, my recommendation is everything you said, then after that, putting a couple of coats of epoxy resin on it. That's what I was thinking about doing to my desk after talking to my old woodworking professor a week ago. It's just what to use, probably fast curing crystal clear resin. That's just my idea though, to preserve something to make it last longer, y'know?
