I do notice the same thickening issues when left in container. The following build season I would add pure turps to thin but not having the exact ratio always gave me questions how effected the mix was. I now will mix smaller batches to help eliminate waste.
The question I was relating to is heating the wood. It does promote penetration. Before and after weight confirms that. My problem was the length of time to finally dry. Superficial drying fooled me. Like i mentioned prior that they now seem dry throughout after stripping and sitting for a few weeks. I will finish these and give to my fishing cohorts for evaluation this season. Will respond back with my findings.
