Funny timing on this as I was epoxy sealing plugs this week too and was comparing weight gain to some needles I sealed in helmsman so I had weighed them before/after just to compare.. I primed them this morning but can still read the weights thru the primer.

For these ones I warmed the plugs (but not hot, just warm) and I epoxy sealed with thinned envirotek and wiped down after about 5 minutes. Weight went from 2.2 to 2.35 oz. These are soft maple not birch.

Be careful with darters, the one time I really screwed them up I heated them too much and let them soak up too much sealer and after wiring they didnt float.
