Indeed. Current thinking is a cast off bed sheet.

Please take the warnings about self-ignition of oil-soaked rags seriously. All
drying oils will oxidize and release heat. Combining flammable solvents, wood
shavings, wood scrapings, sawdust, in a bucket or box is Not A Good Idea; this
combination may catch fire many hours later.

Burn the rags, or soak in water and seal, or place in airtight container, or
spread out to dry in a safe place.

Good timing.
I'm hoping to start oiling tomorrow. I have had self ignition before but
from car body sealant/glass fibre work.
