Ahhh, yes, lovely Louisa and the Big Sandy area. Nice places around there. Have some friends down that end of the state. Some good Hybrid fishing in the Ohio. I'm in Lexington.

Your Min Wax should work fine as a sealer. You could also use a mix of boiled linseed oil (60%) and mineral spirits (40%). Dip the plug for 30 seconds, let drip, then wipe off the excess. Read the label on the linseed to make sure you dispose of the rags appropriately. The plug will likely have to dry for a couple of days before primer/paint.

For primer, I've been using the bin primer/sealer. Paints, just make sure they are compatable. That may be your problem. Different paints do not always get along well together. If you are going the spray can route, try the Rustoleum paints. Recoat, or add other colors as suggested on the label. Paints have solvents in them. If you recoat while they are curing, you'll get bubbling/cracking. Let them dry after paint for at least 24 hours before the clear coat. The envirotex has worked well for others. Have not tried it myself.
