Ron: I picked up a gallon on Wednesday, I got it for $44 at Moynihan Lumber in Plaistow, NH. Let me know when you can meet so I can give you half.

I plan on turning some birch test lures and performing the same tests I did for the other sealers.

At the manufacturers recommendation, I will dip the lures three times. Following that I'll measure the lure's weight loss through the recommended dry time. Lastly, I will submerge-test the lures.

I'm making 9 lures:
- 3 with sealer only.
- 3 with sealer, dip-primer, spray-primer and lacquer base coat.
- 3 with sealer, dip-primer, spray-primer and lacquer base coat with (8) 3/32" punctures.

Marketing for Marine Seal Once says it penetrates 3/8", but doesn't specify if that's end-grain or not, so we'll see how it does.

I hope to start this tonight.
