To avoid starting a new topic, have started refurbing one of my old bats to kill time in Lockdown 3.0.

I've sanded it back and applied a coat of oil, how long would be sensible to wait before applying a new scuff and new stickers? I usually oil after scuff and stickers to avoid having to worry about it but the area under the old scuff and stickers was extremely dry.

Also depends on which type of sheet. If you want to apply a fibre sheet, no amount of time is long enough They always tend to slowly form an odd bubble as the sheet un-stretches. Best would be to wait as long as possible, and then do a very light sand (especially around the edges of the bat, so the sheet can grip onto the sanded edges).

Cheers @brokenbat I'll give that a crack when it's had long enough for the oil to, hopefully, set in properly.

If you sand, make sure you get all the sanding residue properly wiped off the blade, otherwise scuff won't stick well!
