Heres a freebee from "A Polishers Handbook (http://www.ubeaut.com.au/book.html)" page 81

Mix 1 part raw linseed oil, with 3 parts spar varnish. Get a clean piece of cotton gauze 12 to 18 inches square and soak it in the varnish mix. Ring out as much moisture as possible then place between 2 pieces of butchers paper or blotting paper and squeeze out excess moisture. The rag should now be just slightly damp and when pressed onto paper should not leave a wet mark. If so fold 4 to 5 times and store in a sandwich size or smaller plastic zip-lock bag with all the air removed.

SUBSTITUTE: You will probably have to substitute polyurethane for spar varnish in the tack rag recipe and any other recipe that you come across that calls for spar varnish

There you go, a freebee from U-Beaut and the bible. Now would be a good time to put in an order for a copy, or if you already have one, read it.
