Paul,
I take from the oven, run downstairs, drip some thru the thru hole till its coming out the other end. Then take a pipe cleaner, dip in the urethane then pass that thru. Q tips to the belly hole, then foam brush it till it stop soaking in. This is where it was taking 3-4 coats on the end grain surfaces and the flat parts were drying when it was too hot.
I thought about submerging them while hot but I have not tried that yet.
Since I had not done this before with urethane, when the set I did last thursday had dried a few days, I submerged em cold for a bit like I used to do with val oil and then wiped them off. I haven't worked much with maple and I know its prone to split if water gets in so I basically sealed em both ways just to be sure.
