Please hurry up. The dreaded school science fair is just over the horizon and my selectively brain dead teenage son needs someone to design a project for him so he can get into college and avoid having to work for a living. This looks promising.

close up of val oil/turp
valoil/turp 10 min
valoil turp 10 hrs.
Looks to me like the 10 hrs (on the right) did a tiny bit better around the thru hole.
Nice miss drill too  |

val oil/and the odorless thinner
10 min followed by 10 hr
Again the 10 hr looks better and I could not tell the difference between the 10 hr valoil/turp mix and 10 hr valoil/odorless thinner mix.

I'm not sure how conclusive this is, read into what you want. But it looks to me like the straight val oil worked better than the val oil that was cut, and it did not seem to matter whether you cut it with turp or the odorless stuff.
The 10 hr cut stuff seemed to work just about as well, its hard to tell, but really 10 hrs or 24 doesn't save me any time, although the cut stuff would save you a bit of a mess.

Thanks for showing us 
looks good, not much water penetration I guess.
I wonder how it would hold up on maple or birch. |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Hard to see, but would you say you were surprised that you got a pretty even result from all methods and lenghts of time? If that is the case 10 minutes or even shorter will do the trick. Thanks for posting.
