did you use pure Tung oil or a blend...
Pure, got it from Rockwell woodworking, says 100 percent pure tung oil on the jug. Plugs were dipped for about 5-10 minutes, then hung to dry for about one week, then lightly sanded. I'm using zinnser cover stain oil based primer. The plugs that came out good are like iron, but a couple others seem to be excessivley wet in addition to some bleeding through.

The only other thing I can come up with is this: Most of the bleed through is on the belly side of the plugs where I sanded the wood filler down. Maybe sanded too much and re-exposed the oil?

Used a bunch of different wood also and had the problem with all 5 wood types:

White pine

AYC

WRC

Birch

Spanish Cedar
