val oil/ min sprits I dunked for 5 mins......boilded linseed oil/min spirts...I only dunked a couple mins....most ceders you can treat the same, there soft woods...hard woods need longer soak times....just my 2 cents

what he said. Time depends on how thin it is also. There isn't any set time. Too short and it's not sealed. Too long and you got a paper weight.
