I've been using the BLO/Binz combo a long time, with both, rattle cans and acrylics,even with Varnish as a top coat, the ONLY time I ever had a problem was when the mixture got too thick and gooey,or when I didnt allow it to dry completly or, I sanded the plug body down to, too ,fine a finish ... smooth plug= low adhesion....
It sound to me,(and I'm just guessin, what the hell do I know) like the sealer, gathered in the belly area and did not cure, I have found that over time, the mineral spirits evaporates from the mixture(in the dunking container) leaving a thicker mix behind that doesnt dry properly, I dump mine as soon as it gets to this stage, I do keep the dunk tank covered tightly when not in use to maximize life of the product...
Next batch, try wiping the plug with pure mineral spirits (allow some drying time) if the plug seems at all gummy,then raise the grain with some 180 grit.....then prime.
I personaly dip my plugs in binz the first coat, quickly brushing off the excess... after an overnight dry, I sand with #220, wipe with a tack cloth and spray with binz, after allowing an overnight dry, I wet sand with #600... the finish is as smooth as silk.. what more can we ask for...
