Well I agree but I have many a bat last 4 plus years without a drop of oil and still going well..

Some bat makers don't like oil either I love the millichamp videos though

Would be useful if one of our forum sponsors could give us a little guide on how they finish/prepare their bats before they leave the factory  ;).

Always oil and shoe goo the toe.. Never scuff I hate the stuff.. Only time you will have trouble with oiling a bat is if you have no idea what you are doing and drown the thing.

If you follow the instructions of someone like JM in his video you certainly can't go wrong... Unless of course you think you know better ;)

If a customer asks for no scuff sheet do you oil the bat for them or leave that to them?

Generally leave that to them as some customers don't like oiling bats so easier to not do it

The above is what I do on my personal bats

I oil my bats with keeping in mind mostly over oiling kills a bat - under oiling won't.
Super light coat - every 4/5 months to keep willow healthy (I make myself laugh :D ).
