so the remedy is to take them out every hour and weigh them till you get to where you want?
Obviously some blanks of the same material will weigh different so do you have to keep some in long and some in less or just get together all the same weight category when dry and put them in as group soaks?

This was the first time Ive done the soak method and it was suggested I take weights before and after.
Going on other builders recommendations I went with three hours, as that seemed to be the most common time frame.
I was warned about darters getting to heavy by everyone.
In the past Ive just sprayed them with BIN 123 primer/sealer and never worried about it. and just painted and epoxied.

For soft maple darters that is what I've had to do (although pretty quickly you can judge by how they float in the sealer when you take off the weight submerging them). I usually just weigh the one that floats deepest, then take the others out when they float the same. Heavy darters (for a given shape) roll out too easily. |
