Re: Oiling

Regarding linseed oil. It mildews very easily. I have experienced this many years ago in a clarinet that I oiled and left in a closet for a while. I oiled the clarinet when I was at repair school and used an oil formula there containing linseed oil. I have also experienced mildew on a piece of furniture I finished with linseed oil.

Linseed oil is used in woodworking because it is a hardening oil - it polymerizes to form a hard or semi hard coating. It really has no advantages for oiling a clarinet. Some other oils have the same property. I know walnut oil is semi hardening. I believe that almond oil is not a hardening oil. I haven't reviewed this information for many years - I hope I'm getting this all correct. Omar may have more accurate information.

Some oils also go rancid more easily.
