The plugs sealed with the oil were left to dry for 2 weeks inside at room temp before the test. The plug that soaked for 12 hours was much darker and heavier than the plug that was soaked for 5 min. as one would expect. (it also took much longer to dry)

The plugs were small 3 1/2 inch popper bodies 7/8 in diameter.

I noticed after 2 hours in the water, the smell of oil was getting stronger.

I was able to get hourly weights for 6 hours before I fell asleep.

I tracked the increase in weight in grams and was verry surprised by the results. (I will post the results next)
