I cant get it around here either,besides, I'm happy with the results of the 60/40 mix of BLO,I use the oderless mineral spirits and keep a lid on the container....

I leave cedar plugs overnight and hardwood for 24 hours...

After they drip dry (over a turkey roaster pan)for a day, I wipe their butts and let them cure for a week, I always scruff them with #220, if they are glazed( which means it's time to change the mixture) I'll "de-glaze" with #80 and wipe with a tack cloth I then dip in binz allowing the mixture to run through the plug, bring shelac based,it affords an extra measure of protection, it takes a few days for the inside to dry, but the plug will never split... not even poplar....
I've never had a paint peeling issue,,,maybe I've just been lucky...
