<<L ike you are supposed to >>
..... I don't know who told you that, but they certainly don't make reeds! (Like most real oboists do...)

There was a discussion thread last summer on how much to soak in water (is it possible to oversoak). I believe 30 seconds to 2 minutes is good. If you forget your reeds for an hour or 2 days, no problem, let it dry a bit, play on it for awhile to close it and "tame it" but no harm done.

But definitely, soak your reeds in water to revive them, open them and prevent cracking!
