I seem to use a little more Oak than that, but maybe for a shorter time.
This whole thing does rely upon a certain degree of experimentation.

I misread that... I read "welcome to the seat of your pants"

Indeed oak REALLY IS that beast.
I use 8-10g per litre as a starting point.

Without wishing to be facetious, does taste,taste,taste help at all?

Your bits of wood are not the same as someone else's.
Nor is your product.
There is a HUGE margin for experimentation here, and very few hard and fast rules.
It should be part of the fun.
Welcome to flying by the seat of your pants.

Have bought 2 different trial packs
of wood from S.D. and cant believe the
difference in colours and taste.
Can anyone give a guild on how much?
or how long?
I know its all personal taste, but hear
of over oaking ?
This does not sound nice and dont
want to do it to my precious rum.

That is the real value in dominoes over chips. Dry in airing cupboard and use again... Even retoast in oven. Always store dry when not submerged.

The dominos can be used more than once...like you say the more you use them the less flavour there is.

Are the dominos good for just one use? I assume they loser their flavour after the first use.

Maybe ok to chuck in a barbecue for some smokey flavour though?

You could try http://www.distillingdominoes.co.uk/dominoes-3/ or the wood from Still Dragon is pretty decent as well
