Just a suggestion.

bingo.... I've been the over seal rout, I had a batch of perfect swimming darters ( tested prior to sealing then dried with a hair dryer) sink like lead when I finished them, these were allowed to soak in BLO overnight.... I've never had an issue with smal darters, but on those I prefer spruce... but on the larger ones, a long soak can cuase problems... anyone who has left a plug in a vehicle in the sun for a day knows exactly what I'm talking bout... I went to a 50/50 mix on the BLO a few years ago, I haven had an issue since... large maple or birch darters all get screw eyes, it's much easier to keep the desired action consistant..
