Well, that will certainly give it an opportunity to soak in! But I
think he needs to spend a couple of days doing what is hardest on a
project like this -- nothing! While the oil will be soaking in while
in the baggie, it will not be curing. He needs to wipe it well, then
let it sit for 24-48 hours. Might need to wipe dry again 3-4 hours
into the curing time if some oil seeps out of the wood after the
"super saturation". He's not going to get any build by soaking--he's
got to let layers dry.

IMHO, of course. But this advice is consistent with my reading of
Jewitt.
