CS is right, a 20 second dip into the boiled linseed/mineral spirits does not sink in deep, at least on AYC. I cut a blank open the other day just to see for myself. Goes a little below the surface. If I were using birch, or other wood that needed better sealing than AYC, I would certainly dip them longer.
So how long does it take for the blanks to dry if you soak them overnight?
