Re: Alternative bore oils

as anyone ever had any problems with linseed oil? Is there even a problem with linseed oil? I can't say I've ever encountered any problems with it or know of anyone who has.

Seeing as it's been used by most oboe and clarinet makers both in the UK and mainland Europe for however long, has anyone ever died of it in all that time?

I'm still alive as I'm typing this and I've used linseed oil for well over three decades now.

I'm sure there are far worse artificial additives in the foods you eat and the air you breathe that will do you more harm than raw linseed oil could do. It's been used medicinally for its antiseptic qualities and that was well before the alleged 'food safe' versions were available.

If you're worried about the toxicity of raw linseed oil (if it is toxic), then don't lick your clarinet and wear surgeons' gloves while you play, whilst also wearing a mask.
