Unsealed and sealed plug weights
I weighed some plug bodies, before and after the sealer.
The plugs were sealed with spar urethane and mineral spirits, mixed60/40.
Soaking time was 3 hours for all plugs, fully submerged.
Plugs were not heated, room temperature, which my house is around 66 degrees.
Plugs were allowed to drip dry, then moved into my storage room, which is about 72 degrees.
Plugs have dried now for 3 days.
They were weighed a postal mailing scale.
Small Danny
Unsealed: 1.385 oz
Sealed: 1.460 oz
Large Danny
Unsealed: 2.320 oz
Sealed: 2.4 oz
Bottle Swimmer
Unsealed 1.205 oz
Sealed: 1.290 oz
Darter
Unsealed 2.255 oz
Sealed 2.305 oz
Was interesting to seeing how much they gained. There was a few plugs that gained some serious weight, one large danny now weighs 3.8oz after 5 days of drying.
