It is a strange process, Billy, at the outset they pick up some weight quickly, then slow down a bit, then all of a sudden start soaking it up like crazy. Furthermore different blanks soak it up at different rates. It is pretty easy to over do it with birch and maple and as Joe says you can sink them. One trick is to weigh one periodically and when it gets to the right weight watch how it floats in the sealer, then take the other plugs out when they get to the same level.
