 RE: To oil or not to oil...

Dear GBK,
I have agreed not to reveal the formulation (this is not sinister or secret however) I got this information from my own analaysis of oils extracted from various clarinets but needed confirmation by the manufacturer. The oils used to initially soak the wood are plant derived oils. I do not know why the manufacturers do not offer the same oil as a care product under their brand name. Most, if not all bore oil offered under branded names is 95-100% light mineral oil. If one were to take the economic, profit model, then the profit on light mineral oil sold as bore oil is >5000%, on a specific plant derived oil formulation with antioxidants and emulsifiers (my own experience only) it <100% at comparable prices per milliliter.
