It is an oil that a lot of professionals use. I know someone who
swears by the stuff,
Perhaps someone could explain what is meant by *lint free cloth*. I
had in mind surreptitiously acquiring a handy teacloth:-)

Something that does not shed fibres into your nice finish while applying it!

Indeed. Current thinking is a cast off bed sheet. Progress so far has
been to re-establish the boss's TV viewing area while I wait for the
plaster repairs to set hard.
