Re: Using Mineral Bore Oil

Per chemist, Dr. L. Omar Henderson, otherwise known as "The Doctor" here on the BB: "Mineral oil is not a wood preservative, does not penetrate wood deeply, and in the end will destroy the wood by changing the oil content in the wood surface from natural to petroleum based oil which breaks down wood structure over time."

The quote above comes from the following thread: http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=405574&t=405550 Look for his response.

Here's some more info from "The Doctor": http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=89811&t=89777 Look for his 2 responses.

I believe he is still the recognized expert when it comes to taking care of wooden clarinets.

Please read both threads all the way through.
