Birch Sealing Test -- Input Please

I'm testing 4 sealers to see how well they stand up to punctures (bluefish teeth, hook points, etc.) The wood is yellow birch.

The lure blanks are sealed, primed, and will be coated with lacquer paint tomorrow (I'm not clear-coating). They will be ready for the immersion test on Monday.

To simulate bluefish teeth / hook points, I'm making a jig with nails so 6 punctures are placed in the same locations and at the same depth on every lure blank.

My question is what depth do you think the punctures should be to simulate hook points & teeth in this hardwood? My initial thought is 1/8".
