Road kill /Dead Fish / New Sealer

Found some 1.3/4 x 28" sq strips of OAK, might have been ballister. my guess, cut to 7" sanded, dipped in the MINIWAX woodsealer, hung dry in a couple of hr's re-sanded an primed an painted, sealed,did them in a DEAD , or DYING, CRIPPLED, Fish style, they will hit the water Friday, going to fish thoes 2 all day, to see how they hold up. w, the new woodsealer now that my val-oil is gone.
Han Carved Rattle can Painted, weight in at 2.7oz
GOOD LUCK GOOD PLUGGIN

Very nice. That stuff dried that quickly, huh? Did you cut it with any solvents or just used as-is?

MINIWAX woodsealer Let me know if the paint falls off. I have never had any luck with that stuff.

Salty,
Did you weigh the plugs before and after fishing to see if they gained weight from water intrusion?
