Before throwing away my bottle of bore oil with silicone :-) I wonder if there is some evidence that the silicone sticks to the wood?
And if so, is there evidence of that being harmful, and if so, in which way?
This is by no means any evidence, but I just noticed that this German clarinet maker (Harald Hueyng) has the same "La Tromba" silicone bore oil bottle in their pictures about recommended oiling procedure (German text): http://www.hueyng.de/tipps/oelanleitung/
On the other hand, I'm aware that silicone sticks to paint and similar covering, but paint is of course very different from wood.
I also found some articles about wooden artefact conservation using silicone oil, which is labelled as an irreversible treatment, indicating that the silicone actually sticks to the wood. However, the procedure is quite different compared to the oiling of a clarinet bore, involving complete dehydration of the artefact as well as vacuum treatment. As an example, see http://nautarch.tamu.edu/CRL/conservationmanual/File6.htm#Silicone%20Oil%20Treatment
If the silicone in bore oil sticks to the wood of a clarinet, I also wonder to which extent it does so and for how long? And also, considering the water repellent effect of silicone, if remaining silicone even could be beneficial?
