Olive Oil will not provide any tuning effect, it will only clean the rubber surface.

I usually use just enough to cover the entire rubber surface. When the rubber is coated, leave to dry. Works wonders with a grippy rubber, not tried it with a tacky one though but I would imagine the results would be good.

Use distilled water, very fine layer, cover in plastic, leave overnight.

Magic tacky.

I've ruined a rubber using this method before... I put on the plastic when it was still wet, and the next day it had changed colours in some spots and left other spots without grip. I was a Chinese rubber, but I don't remember which one it was. I know another person that uses this method with mark V and it seems to  work very well... Not sure why it has this effect on some rubbers only...
