BigFish, check the paint section of Home Depot or any other store that sells paint. They probably have the boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. Mix 60% linseed with 40% spirits. I dip mine. Took a section of PVC pipe longer than the plugs I am dipping. Put an end cap glued on one end. Set up a jig to hold it up right. Pour in the linseed and spirits. Use a piece of wire in the tail of the plug, dip the plug in and hold it under for 20 seconds. Pull out and let drip, then whip off the extra with a rag. Hang to dry. Make sure you dispose of the rags properlly cause they can spontaniously combust. I have an empty paint can (picked up one at homies) that I'll add some water too. Rags go in there, then put the top back on.
