Bernzy you can use what you want, but I am telling you this..... BOTH linseed oil and waterlox/tung oil act as a release agent to the primer layer when a wood plug body is dipped in it. The engineer I have been PAYING predicted this and the others we have consulted with have advised the same thing. Adhesion tests have proved it on wood sealed for 1 week or 2 months. Not only with bin products but with many other primers on the market today. Am I an expert in it or know it all? Nope that's what I'm paying this guy for right now. To develop a completely bullet proof and consistent finish. And the only way you can do it with any of these products is to use a full alkyd primer, that is the only thing we've done so far that will give us a solid base to expand the paint layer on. Problem with oil primer is length of time to dry especially in the humid weather lately. 3-4 days is what we've found for proper dry and adhesion. Suxx to tie up paint racks for 4 days of dry time....

Salty,
I am just saying what works for me. I have had ZERO problems with the primer I use, adhering to a Tung Oil sealed plug. I CANNOT scratch the primer off of a sealed plug. I let the tung oil dry for 12 hours then prime. No problems! You are correct however, with the humidity issue. It can affect the drying/curing time of many sealers, primers and finishes. My shop is in a controlled environment so I don't have to deal with humidity problems.
I'm not using what I want, but rather what I need to build plugs that are durable.
With the money I've spent trying various products, I may have been better off hiring someone to figure it out for me.
I've found the combo I've been looking for through testing and trial and error.
