it would not do any damage  however it contains turpentine which can remove natural oils. I am assuming it has very low levels of turpentine.

This product is a wood Balsam and contains beeswax pine turpentine and cold pressed linseed oil it is used to clean and nourish wood in the furniture industry if you do  decide to use it your bat Will have a shiny finish.

If you're not keen on the mess of using raw linseed oil, then Salix bat wax is good stuff.

Thread on its use here:

Use the wood balsam, it's great stuff. A little bit goes a long way.

You don't actually need to oil a bat.

A scuff sheet at most to protect the front.

Knocking in is more important than oil.

Where are you located in the US?

There are plenty of cricket stores that sell linseed oil or you can order some from amazon.

It has to be raw linseed oil. Please make sure as all home improvement stores in US sell boiled linseed oil.
