Re: Grenadilla Oil from Doctor's Products

(Disclaimer - Doctor's Products is the maker of Grenad-Oil® and Bore Doctor)
It is hard to determine a self life of a organic product but Bore Doctor, a mixture of plant derived oils, has the same cocktail of powerful antioxidants in it as Grenad-Oil® and quality control samples over 8 years stored in my unheated or cooled garage in GA (probably -5 to +40 degrees C) have shown no rancidity or other evidence of degredation over time.

Paul, you can put anything on your clarinet that you wish and a plant derived oil is probably better than petroleum based oils but there are certain plant derived and nut oils that have been proven over time to replentish and protect wood - Soy is not one of them. The genesis of Grenad-Oil® was a scientific challenge for me and a desire for a product by some that do not want to put anything foreign (bore oil) on their instruments.

I will be glad to answer any scientific or commercial questions by email.
