Concerning the procedure I would agree with Omar above, as well as with Paul Aviles, if I may quote him from a thread about a year ago:

"My oiling suggestion is pretty straight forward. Take a hanky swab lightly damp with bore oil. Run through the joints once or twice to get a wet sheen. If by the next day there is no evidence of bore oil on the surface of the bore....repeat. You do that (day to day that is) until there is still evidence of oil on the bore surface the next day....then you don't have to try again for another month or so."

For my part, I use a Recorder bore brush for oiling my clarinets as I find it convenient and it's also easy to control both the spread and the amount of oil with it.

By the way, in that thread about a year ago I posted a picture of my Wurlitzer clarinet "bleeding" oil from the inside (the bore) to the outer surface. That was then considered as something extraordinary (no cracks in the wood and no air leaks anywhere). Well, later I had a new Schreiber clarinet for trial for about a week. I didn't oil it at all, but after some playing that same kind of bleeding occurred on that clarinet. I believe this clarinet was well saturated with oil by the manufacturer, as I try to keep mine. Attached is a picture.

Perhaps such bleeding isn't that unique after all?
