				Fastest Method for Sealing a Plug
			 
 Been awhile since I have posted on SB, but I am still lurking here constantly!
 I needed to upgrade my wooden plug aresnal for a trip I have coming up with my family to Martha's Vineyard.  Long story short, I could not pass up some of Salty's kits.  If am going to drop a couple hundred bucks on plugs, I might as well come away with 16 as opposed to 8 right?
 
 Anyway I need to get these done quickly as the trip is fast approaching.  What is the fastest most effective way to seal them?  Here are my options as I have searched and read on this forum and others:
 
 1.  60% Boiled Linsed Oil / 40% Mineral Spirits mix:  Issues here for me here is the drying time.  How long really is it?
 
 2.  Epoxy:  Read some extensive posts about guys using etex lite and sealing everything that way.  Seems a bit expensive for me and pretty time consuming.  Baking the plugs, brushing on epoxy, cleaning space for thru - wire etc.  But if it is a quick dry time for a bullet proof finish I could suck it up and do it.
 
 3.  BIN Primer / Sealer:  Couldn't I just dunk the wood in this a couple of times over 2 days or so and have it act as an all in one sealer / primer?  This seems to easy...
 
 4.  Minwax Wood Hardener:  This looks to be like a fast method, but I am worried about paint adhesion?  Should I be?
 
 These are going to be very simple functional plugs in your basic fish catching colors:  Black, White, & Yellow.  Absolutely nothing fancy & hopefully I do not screw them up so bad they cannot be fished.
 
 I know some of you have the answer for me & I greatly appreciate any insight you can give.
