You can just squeeze the plug with your fingers, submerge it in the scent and let it absorb the scent as it returns to it's regular shape. You'd then have a plug that will exude scent for the whole day of fishing.
Clearly this should only be done with oil based scents as water based ones would cause the plug to lose its boyancy.

BTW, when fished over a bed of maize, yellow ear plugs make deadly carp bait.
