In the old days they used harpoons or spears, then recently they clubbed them or shot them. Now ya can't touch them.

oh you mean seal a plug

my mistake

Everyone uses different stuff it seems so I can see how it's confusing.
I guess ya have to try something and if it works for you and you are comfortable with it, go with that.

I guess ya can't go wrong soaking bodies in some sort of boiled linseed oil mix thinned with something so it penetrates. Harder woods soak longer. Allow plenty of drying time or the paint can lift. Dispose of any oily rags carefully as they can sponaneously combust.

If you want to paint sooner, try the propianate stuff that you dislove in acetone, wear gloves and a respirator, dip it 3 times or so, it dries fast. prime the next day easily.
