This is a really great discussion... i wish i'd been able to listen to it when i bought my A61 in 2013. I think i've oiled it too much, but i'm not sure how to tell. It's certainly pretty dark looking, except for in that super high spine; i'd read or heard somewhere you're not supposed to oil the spine at all, but you were not doing the entire back side of the bat. Is that the modern latest scientific idea on best practise, is it?
Hello Laver & Wood cricket bat expert I have used bat & not been played for a while now so do you recommend me to do some oiling and protect it with a anti scuff sheet,or any other suggestion from you so that I could make my bat a good one again.
@@steverogers684 Oils do not evaporate. Linseed oil will however, as it 'dries', polymerise. This natural action means the Linseed Oil becomes like plastic. In it's liquid state some will penatrate the fibres and cell voids of the willow (as said above). Once dried the surface could be 'buffed/polished' to remove excess oil & solids that may be left behind (they will be very very small, generally). The oiling described above was prior to knocking-in rather than a maintenance application. A manitenance application will be done to prevent evoporative loses of the natural moisture (resins & cellulose) and lay down a very thin water repellant smear of Linseed Oil (as described above). Loss of natural moisture cannot be replaced by further oiling.
Quite a different method to Julian Millichamp, who advocates 3 or 4 coats of oil on all the exposed wood except the splice.

How to make the oil from which we are doing oiling
You have to buy raw linseed oil.
Hi, I have no stickers on the front of my bat now. I just took them off and thought I should oil it a bit. Should I avoid the splice?
joined2000 don't oil the splice where the handle is glued.
Hi gde I have a new ss the face has a tape like finish and the edges has a strip how do I go about oiling and knocking my bat
@@PremPrakashThangamani this might be a bit late but why?
Hej lever wood Can you deliver to sweden
How often would you oil a bat
Joshua Willcox 1 year
@@puru8770 - Do you mean only once, in the first year you've bought it?
Or, do you mean once every year, at the start of each season?
Julian Warmington every year
Is it bad that I put two table spoons on?
Yessssssssssssssss
It's better to under oil than to over oil
What to do when u have overoil the bat bcoz ihave one and can't do anything
stop oiling and leave it for a long long time oil will dry after a long time maybe a year ...
Use a heat gun to dry off d access oil. It will probably save a year of wait.
May be leaving under sun would do for few days
Can you tell me the properties of linseed oil on wood.
J.Jansi Doss The only thing I can tell you is that other oils evaporate quickly on the bat while linseed oil soaks into the bat.

More than half a teaspoon of oil will lead to dead bats.
