Eric I'm sure the sealer won't go as deep as the teeth punctures. I have Bluefish punctures deeper than 1.8". I'd say 3/16". Personally, sealing the thru wire hole would be all that's needed but messy. I assume it's why we all do the entire plug. My opinion is sealing hard woods ie maple,popular to prevent cracking. Soft woods absorbing water seemed to be a concern for top waters but you really have to use that plug for a long time I would think to get it water logged. Nonetheless I seal everything w/Val oil 15min-1hour. Harder, longer. Never any issues w/ Val oil. 60/40
