I use gum Arabic from Michaels art section (used as a binding agent for water colors). Let it dry and buff with a polished hardwood wheel.

I dampen the edge with water, rub a piece of solid glycerine saddle soap lightly on the dampened edge, then rub briskly with a piece of canvas. Read Bob Parks tutorial on finishing edges.

+1 on reading the tutorial on finishing edges. It's in the "how do I do that" section by member 'Hidepounder'.
