If you have cold sealer, a large pickle jar and heat the blanks it soaks right in,,, especially if you keep the jar top clean and close it. It crates a vacuum and can help the sealer go deep into the wood.

The dip method really only works on woods with natural oils and resins, not so much on hard woods. They require more soak time.

As far as epoxy sealing. Everyone talks of the concoctions to thin regular epoxy. Why not just use a boat building laminating epoxy. It works great, soaks in deep and does what the professional engineers designed it for.

JMHO... Which does not mean much,,,
