I mix a little Ballistol with water, soak my patching material in it, blot off the excess, and then let the water evaporate. This leaves the patching material lightly oiled but not saturated.
Something like five parts water and one part Ballistol is a good starting point. I just mix it until it looks about right to be honest.
