[stripercrazy]

hate when a plug splits... got a triple- 2 blues on the popper and a striper on a teaser with this plug and it split paint stuck good, its still bugging me why it split.

thin with "TURPS"

all other thinner's are crap.

60/40 or just through some in till it looks thinner

soak 4 hours min. if using pine/ayc/cedar....overnite on hardwoods.

wipe dry

hang and forget them..go to another project.

warm oil soaks in better than cold oil.

soaking for a minute wouldn't get your dingles damp.

I use mineral spirits, 60% oil, 40% solvent. Turps might be better, but this dries quickly (overnight) without odor and I think it is the oil that does the sealing, not the solvent. Sand lightly before you prime.
