What's the best technique to build with linseed oil?
(i.e. for max. benefit with minimum mess/oil dripping onto/into rim)
Dip the spoke threads, soak the nipples? I assume submerging the nipples in oil AND dipping spoke threads is the belt and braces way to ensure complete thread-thread oil penetration once assembled, but can imagine this can get a bit messy. Anybody have some pro tips? Does anybody use a syringe/pipette/dropper to drop oil into each nipple, or is that a bit overkill?
