@ The Doctor: "Fifth, research or document that a candidate oil or oil mixture will penetrate deeply into instrument wood. Yes, this is scientifically provable!"

A long time ago I worked on oaken boats with linseed oil, drying vegetable oil, sometimes thinned with natural turpentine, and more recently used it on clarinets. I had the (unscientific) impression that it wouldn't penetrate into the wood more than fractions of a millimetre so that I doubted that oil baths over days would be of any effect. On the other hand I still think that a drying vegetable oil that more or less seals the inner wood surface might be of more benefit than mineral oils.

Some time ago in this forum I already suggested that somebody might saw a clarinet through and look how deep the oil had penetrated. A more qualified scientific proof might be interesting.
