Same with applying oil often and allow to dry between coats.
Just be aware linseed oil can spontaneously combust something to be aware of.
Watch a few you tube videos will give you an idea.

A good alternative to this could be the plastic used in shower wall linings. I don't know about the risk of it "yellowing" with UV exposure though.

I do have some clean/new 3mm sheets of this if you need some.
