->
so getting them wet before they are sealed
doesn't make them want to split?
how long until they are dry enough to paint afterwards?

They've been dipped and sealed already. Did that after all the drilling and messing around with them. I'll pop a coat of epoxy on 'em before they take a drink.

FYI, epoxy adds about 1.4 grams to the plug.

We'll have to see how that affects the sink rate. Lighter hooks. Maybe it's not a big deal one way or another....

Lighter hooks a big deal. I wouldn't do that.  |

depends... dowsizing from a 4/0 to a 3/0 or even a 2/0 on a 6" needle is no big deal as long as they are all 4x |

I use this to my advantage, since the salt is too far for me to test stuff. Once I get it where I want it in fresh water, the added weight of the finish USUALLY balance out the added density of seawater. At least close enough for me except in vary rare instances (suspending needles). |
