Got it. In the meantime I'll stay away from white bellies and go with more yellow and silver until the current inventory is used up.
I had the same issue this summer with blo, but gave the plugs an extra week or so to dry before finishing and they came out ok.

I had about 4 dozen plugs primmed and waiting for paint since last April, that go for a charity raffel I donate to each fall, I started painting them last night, I inspected them closely, none of them bled through...I primed all of these no more than 48 hours after sealing...so I'm confident that once you thin the TO a little and adjust your dry time all should be good..

Thanks, Joe.

I just spun all 25 bodies on the lathe. I got just about all the old oil off with sandpaper and I'm back to step 1 again in the finishing process.

I'm going to mix up another batch with the turps/tung and report back.
