Funnily enough, this problem with oils is also a frequent theme on the
Northumbrian Small Pipes lists.
One of the favourites for oiling the woodwork at the moment is liquid
paraffin. You can imagine the fun we had with that. (Liquid paraffin is
used as a laxative in the UK, by the way, not for lighting lamps).
Again, a mineral oil.

The reasoning was the same as it remains liquid, doesn't evaporate and
leaves no residue. I'm not suggesting it's use here, by the way :)

I have received my HG from M. Boudet. She is quite beautiful. He
recommends "l'huile de vaseline" to lubricate the bearings a couple
of times a year. What is that when it's at home? Is it mineral oil?
Thanks,
Barbara
