Old skivvies, drip in the finish you'll be using and wad them up a few times.
Can'tg et much cheaper than rags and finish you already have on hand. Get them
just short of really moist all through.

So the Doctor told him, "Mr. Jones, we'll need a urine sample, a stool
sample, and a semen sample."
Mr Jones (hard of hearing): "Huh? What'd he say?"
Mrs Jones: "He says he needs your underwear."

along.

I've been using paint thinner, but was looking for something to use with an
oil finish, thanks
