First-time wheelbuilding questions

OK, the hubs are here, the spokes and rims are ordered, and just in time, my current hub is stripped and out of commission. Wheelbuilding time is upon me.

so, three questions

-- do I need that spoke prep stuff or can I just use 3-in-1 oil/Tri-flon?

-- do I need a dish stick? Or can I just enjoy saying "dish stick" for the heck of it, and save my money?

-- is the bike sufficient as a truing stand?

Dish stick.

Thanks
