My wood sealing experiment
I just finished up a little experiment last night were I soaked 4 plugs overnight in seawater. The plugs were made of through drilled basswood. (No natural oils like cedar)
Plug #1 - 12 hour soak in 60/40 boiled linseed oil/min spirits
Plug #2 - 5 minute dip in 60/40 boiled linseed oil/min spirits
Plug #3 - No sealer- raw wood for benchmark
Plug #4 - dipped in unthinned Zinsser cover stain approx 1 min. to soak thru-hole and brushed off with cheap brush. (this plug was an afterthought as I really just wanted to see difference between the first 3)
My plan was to weigh each plug before the test and again each hour for as long as I could stay awake and then again in the morning. (cont..)
