Prof....BLO/Mins 60/40.......1 minute soak....(yes just 1 minute) wipe excess off and let dry for about 5 days! I posted this before that I tested a bunch of bodies and soaked them for different amounts of time between 1 minute and 1 hour and found no difference in penetration from 1 minute to 1 hour. I have never had any issues with my sealing time. Everyone has their method and soak times.....this works great for me!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

My friend makes darters he told me the BLO/MS concentration of 50/50 worked better on the more dense woods like hard maple.

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..
