I forgot about some super dry 30 year old pine I left in the a Val-terp cocktail for 30 hours. It still smells like terps a year later. Epoxy fell off first time I trolled them but I still use them anyway. I too now go 2 to 3 hours max for soft wood and 5 or 6 max for Maple. Seems to work. I still get the terp smell but I let them dry for 2 weeks in my sun room and it seems to disappear evenutally. I hate that stink. Thanks for the test results. P.
