Hey Jigman, i tried the comparison over the weekend with red cedar and ayc. Dipped each in either oil based primer or 40/60 linseed .
Drilled a center hole in each,ran a pipe cleaner soaked with each through the center,left both suspended for approx 1 min.
After cutting each piece in 1/2 found the 40/60 had penetrated nicely around the wire whole into both cedars.
The paint just left a thin coating around the wire hole.

I left both suspended over night just to see what would happen.
Didn't make any dfference with the paint but the 40/60 soaked completely thru the 2x2 when cut in half.Imagine how long that would take to dry,if ever?
Looks like the 1 min 40/60 has it over the oil paint. or is it a 30sec 0r 40sec dip?
