i know you let them sit forever, but it sounds like the sealer isn't dry.

not tryin to a smart a$$, but if you place any oil soaked plug in the sun to dry, all it will do is draw any non-dry oil in the wood out to the surface making more of a mess.....they'll be little beads of gooie oil all over your primer......wipe the plug's down with wil=bond and let dry for however long it's take's,,then prime again.........I found rust..painter's touch primer acts funny, so it's not used anymore.

BOAT fish do count.

I agree with Capesams on the Painters Touch. I had more problems than it is worth.

I'm sealing with 60/40 Linseed Oil/Mineral Spirits.

CS What is Wilbond? What I did w/ a couple of them was to sand off the tacky primer and I'm letting them sit for a few more days and see if that helps.

If the Rustoleum is garbage what are you guys using to prime'em?
