Thanks Norman. In researching linseed oil after reading your earlier post, not only did I find it labeled as a "drying" oil, but I found out there's a much bigger difference between linseed oil and boiled linseed oil than I had previous known. I appreciate you bringing it all to my attention. I agree - probably not the best thing to put on/in a clarinet.

On the other hand - does anyone know if some of the other "clarinet" oils oxidize instead of evaporate? If so, could this possibly explain the "block of wood" soaked in oil, but never absorbing it? (Just a thought)

Steve: Yeah, I've seen the Vaseline as cork grease too. I've even known someone who used it as a thin coat (externally) on clarinets they've overhauled to "make them look nice" too! It did make them look nice, but I'm not sure if there were ever long-term repercussions.
