Eric - Try Val oil and a thinner reducer. It is oil base and drys quickly. You do not have to soak the plugs long and it is a excellent sealer. Also do a search. Joe Brotz posted another sealer recently. Does a similar job.
I keep a gallon jug with the mixture and keep adding to it. Dunk or soak depending on the wood and wipe off excess - hang to dry.
Try a white oil based paint & Thin with Mineral spirits till it is very thin.Use a 2 1/2" pvc pipe with a cap on one end.Fill pvc tube to desired height.Submerge plug for at least 1 minute.Let dry,then sand smooth again.This can be done a 2nd time,but not necessary.
