[Cob] oiling cob

[hms.mommy at juno.com]

Do any of you cobbers know how to work with oil and cob?  I have a little
model I made to experiement on, and have been brushing it with plain old
vegetable oil (just because it's available) and it seems like no matter
how much I put on, more will go on.  Is there ever a point at which it
will stop soaking in?  Then I tried pouring melted wax on it, but the wax
didn't soak in at all, and when it cooled, it came right off.  What am I
missing?

Thanks.
