Thanks, Ron.

I'm testing the effectiveness of four sealers. I made 24 plugs on the Vega, dipped 6 plugs per sealer type and now they are all drying. I'm weighing them every 12 hours with a lab balance to see how much weight they are losing to evaporation as they dry. I guess once they level off I can objectively assume they're fully dried/cured.

I'd love to add some heat and/or air movement to speed things up, but I'm going to keep them all (relatively) at the same temperature, humidity and air flow that I started them at.
