lots of different ideas on this. Some for minutes, seconds, some for days. For me I soak all my ayc and pine for 2 to 3 hours, not real fussy on duration after 2 hours.. My birch and maple darters, maybe a couple hours but weigh them after an hour to make sure they are not soaking up too much as these have no weights in them and those 2 species can soak up a lot. That is about all the wood I am using on a regular basis. Pine mostly then AYC then Birch and Maple lastly. I do also epoxy seal some stuff too for durability but only 1 or 2 different plugs, everything else gets the spar cocktail.
