Think similar materials.

oil sealer + oil primer + oil paint + oil finish coat and you'll have compatibility and better adhesion between coats.


it takes a long time for linseed oil to be dry enough to paint over, I don't like it anymore.
The belly hole is your obvious entry point for water to begin to expand the wood. Poplar will soak it up like a sponge and expand , then it all fails .
try some val oil or tung oil maybe as a sealer and use a better primer

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I use val-oil/mineral spirits 60/40. It dries overnight. I then sand and prime with Zspar marine undercoat (brush on). It dries overnight. I've been happy with that part of my finishing routine....the rest I'm not so sure about. By the way, very nice plugs!

I think oil sealed over with a hard (SHELL)epoxy is a problem,, if there's any gooyness left when its sealed, it will find its way out .. one way to activate goo is a hot steamy car .. Or another bad, is thinning your val-oil constantly with turps ,, after a while how good is your sealer ?.. I've seen the same thing,, plugs in a hot steamy shed ... I treat my plugs like crap ,,, never rinse ,,, stay in the car ..just to abuse them and see how tough they are .. not satisfied completly with anything yet ...

True Eddy i think all of us are looking for that magic elixer and most of the time it turns out to be bannana oil.

In your original post you state; inseed/primer. Are you using linseed oil or boiled linseed oil in the blend with mineral spirits? It should be boiled linseed oil (BLSO).

Elliminate the coat of Bins and spray your Krylon primer right on the sealer (after it dries). Sand the primer and apply top coats.
