Our first syrian had a wood wheel and I didn't even plastikote it. Yes it got wee'd in and I just used to scrub it under running water and it was fine! I take the point though. If your hamster pees in his wheel a lot it's not easy. Technically, with a couple of coats of plastikote, no wee should soak into the wood.
