Why not use shellac like Parrker did? Denatured alcohol will desolve what's on there now. Make a rubbing pad out of an old tee shirt cut about 3x3" and put a cotton ball inside. Get some amber bullseye shellac and dip the pad in the shellac (don't over do it). Then just put a small drop of linseed oil on top of the pad. Apply it to the wood working just a small area of wood at a time using figure 8's. Keep the pad moving, if not it dries so fast the pad will stick to the wood. Put more shellac and oil on the pad as needed. It takes a little practice but you can do many many applications in 1 day. It's also easy to correct mistakes using the alcohol to smooth out drag marks caused by the pad stickking.
