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.

Tim: How I apply oil is this.

A small pad of kitchen roll with a little oil applied and then rubbed in
to the wood.

No drips, no spillage. no need for anything beyond masking tape

Those who want slavery should have the grace to name it by its proper
name. They must face the full meaning of that which they are advocating
or condoning; the full, exact, specific meaning of collectivism, of its
logical implications, of the principles upon which it is based, and of
the ultimate consequences to which these principles will lead. They must
face it, then decide whether this is what they want or not.
