Plug # 1 (12 hr oil) Total gain =5.1 grams
Plug # 2 (5 min oil) Total gain =4.0 grams (no, I didnt mix them up!)
Plug # 3 (unsealed) Total gain =7.6 grams
Plug # 4 (cover stain) Total gain =2.0 grams
I have no idea how or why plug # 1 took on more water than the one that was soaked for only 5 minutes. I also was very surprised by the plug with just the cover stain. I'm thinking about another experiment with a thinned out version of cover stain in multiple coats.
If your interested in the hourly breakdown I can get that for you also.
