But it’s worth it.
I don’t oil new chips or newish chips; I don’t like oiling at all. The way I do it, it hurts. But it’s necessary for older chips that have gotten a good TSP substitute cleaning and are all dried out.
I put the cloth over the top of the oil bottle and give it a shake - just getting a bit on the cloth. I pinch that oil spot around the edge of the chip and oil about half the chip. Then I go to a dry place on the cloth and spread what oil is already on there around, to cover the whole chip. Then I go to another dry spot on the cloth, pinch the chip and try to rub all that oil either into the chip or off the cloth. Maybe like three pinchy rotations. The chips come out oiled and dry. But it hurts my finger.
But like I said, sometimes it’s necessary. Here’s a before and after:
