You have to WET it down. Give it a bath. Tape it with the tape that has the disgusting adhesive on it like an envelope flap does. I let it dry and don't remove it from the board until the painting is complete.

HOW in the world do you get your oils to come out looking like a wash?? Do you use an armload of white???? HOW??

Mimi - very nice!!
