F the boiled linseed 50-40-60 whatever stuff. Takes too long, wreaks havoc on paints/primers, its dangerous, etc. There is PLENTY of off the shelf products that are far more reliable and viable at your local hardware. I use a minwax sealer, Clear Sheild maybe, cut w/ mineral spirits and japan dryer for a thinner consistency. Just my preference
Dump a quart into a 5gal bucket, add 30 plugs, close lid, slosh for 5min, wipe and hang to dry, ready to paint the next day.
I have many plugs in the bags of other fishermen and I bet not one of my lures has cracked a finish
Cheers

PS. This is a Holy Grail tip
