The 200-250 30 minutes works for me w/ val oil/pure turps(60/40%). I like to do hard woods mostly this way. soft woods suck the sealer like sponges. hard woods 1 hour minimum. soft woods no more than a hour.

Actually I think it is the opposite. Hardwoods like the maples, birches, and basswood ( which is soft but technically a hardwood) have open end grain that absorbs lots of sealer and weight. Softwoods typically have resin in them that limits their absorption.
