Re: Mineral Oil for Maintenance?
The only oil that i let anywhere near my fingerboard ,is one that is ''specifically'' for wood - Teak oil. To clean my strings,i use either WD40 or Servisol Elec.Switch cleaner,sprayed onto a clean 'cotton' cloth & used to wipe on /off the strings. Both work extremely well. With strings,all we're trying to do is remove 'gunk' of one form or another & to apply a microscopic film of lubricant,or in the case of Servisol,an anti-oxidant to prevent string corrosion. The lubricant itself does that - so it has 2 functions, & using a cloth,it gets nowhere near the fingerboard itself. Even if it did,it's doubtful that it would harm it,it's simply not for use on wood,
