Tagger, it's those pesky little free radicals that will get ya. You don't need no damn moisture meter.

I've been shopping for a moisture meter myself. I cut some limbs from a cedar in my front yard that will be plugs someday. I figure a meter will tell me when that day will be.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Doing the hydro thing, the blank is hardly in the water. Not like you are soaking it for a while. Not in more than a few seconds. Turn the blank, cut the ends off, dunk it, mark it, wipe it off, let it dry for a day, drill holes, move on to sealing. Never had an issue, even with wood what absorbs water pretty well.
