Stump's suggestion of an onion will work. So will garlic or a potato, but those things create a surface tension breaker that don't attack the problem, which is drying oils are rotten adhesives. They don't even stick to themselves. That's why you should add a little resin to the oil. The resin can be a soft resin (damar, mastic) or hard (copal, amber) or in still liquid form (Venice turpentine, Canada Balsam). A little bit of any of those will make the oil adhesive and aalso allow subsequent layers to adhere more easily. Pure oil is a *vehicle* but not a medium, per se.
