Does it make a difference? I see guys dip and hang, soak for an hour, soak for several hours. I soak in a pickle jar 50 /50 spar/ms for 24 hours. I have tested from 1 hour to 1week red Cedar and pine never noticed a dramatic increase in the weight. I was told that all types of wood act differently. Maple, birch and bass wood soak up like a sponge so it's crucial to keep track of how much time you soak. Cedars red, yellow , white have natural oils that block out unwanted intrusion and only absorbs what it wants. Pine has the properties to do both. This was from a friend of a friend who has been staining and vanishing furniture for over 30 years. Is any of it true Idk, but it makes sense from what I had seen. And the geln of the sealer is from the oils and saps from which ever wood species your using. If what he say is true hope it helps.
