Does anyone have any idea how long to soak a deadeye that is saturated with salt water - i recovered one two weeks ago and been soaking it in freshwater ever since. To be honest it is dam near perfect and i do not want to damage it by taking it out out to soon.. I know it is made of that Iron Wood Stuff but i don't want it to crack - does anyone have any experience with this.... also what do you recommend putting on it to bring out the grain - i can see it looks like a real nice gun stock so i dont want to ruin the look... any help would be great
that is all
