Title: How to fix Over oiled Bat
Post by: rajesh500 on April 26, 2010, 05:30:08 PM
Anyone has idea, what to do if your bat is over oiled. Will putting it under SUN help?  Do you recommend to use it OR wait untill it gets dry?

Just leave it to rest as the willow should eventually soak up the oil is what I would do.... Don't see how u can over oil a bat tho as u just apply a caps worth unless ur literally pouring it onto the bat from the bottle!!!!

Do you think this bat is over oiled? It is my personel bat.

if it is, how long should I wait to reuse it (approximate)?

Looks fine, ready for use as soon as dry to the touch.

My season is starting from May 1st week. I am thinking if it will take some time, then I'll go for a used bat from this FORUM. Any other idea to get it dry faster?

Take it from Mr T....the bat looks fine and if there is presently any residue it will certainly be dry by the weekend.

These pics are 3 weeks old when I put it on Sale But someone commented that its been "Oiled to Death". Shall I put it under Sun?

Rajesh it should be fine by now if the pics are 3 weeks old..

BTW the comment was - Oil the death of bats

Not that your bat was oiled to death..

as long as you its dry to touch and you don't sense any moisture on it should be ok..
