I'm using maple, I did 6 needles, thru drilled, hook hole and tail wt. drilled out and one is 1.0oz, 4 are 0.9oz, and one is 0.8oz. I was just curious if it would add 0.1oz, 0.2oz, more.... I typically soak til I stop seeing bubbles which is about a minute or two. This is my 2nd build year and last year I just did a variety of plug types and didn't write much down. This year I figured out which ones I would like to make and plan to do small sets of 6 to 10 plugs (no duplicator) so variance in weight is a guarantee. I'm just looking for an approx idea on how much weight the sealing adds, last year I used spar urethane cut w/ min. spirits.
