I'm breaking away from Val Oil .. I use to leave plugs submersed for days sometimes .. Too Much sealer .. Not dry enough inside when painted and finished.. After some with wringle finished paint,, I submersed 2 hrs. max .. Another problem is thickening .. You have to keep adding Turps to thin because the mixture keeps thickning ,,. After a while you have no idea where you are .. val oil/turps ???
I think any uncured/not dry val oil will make an apperance after sitting in a steamy car for a couple of weeks .. I want something that drys 100% sure ..
Oil finishes mixed with thinner cure by solvent evaporation and oxidation of the oil. Constant exposure to the oxygen in the air will cure the finish and make it thick, adding more thinner will make it more fluid but will not make it work like it did when fresh.

TB, after drilling I sealed it I going to start keeping a log of wood and sealing I do, I'm going to try boiled linseed oil an min spirts 60/40 for some fall poppers and let hang for a few months
