Heating Up

Ok so been doing alot of reading on sealing plugs by heating them up either in the oven, toaster oven or microwave.

I understand that the heat helps open the pores on the wood and allows a better peneration of the sealer.

But heres my question:

Has anyone tried heating up the sealer/spirits mix, then soaking the plugs in a hot mixture??

Seems like the heat would help the viscosity of the sealer and help it soak in.

Im not talking about boiling the sealer but real hot like 180 to 200 degrees, in a well ventilated area or outside. Then soak the plugs as normal.

Just curious about this. Any thoughts?
