if the wood goes darker/softer than you would normally expect or if it begins to pick up heavy then you may have over oiled it

best thing to do is let it air out until oil has totally dried and then get sanding

They say no more than 4 coatings should be applied in one calendar year. So three coats are fine.

One at the start of life is enough, any more and you haven't used the bat enough as it should be smashed up from all the runs you score at the end of the season.

You do not need to oil if using a scuff sheet, they seal the face better than oil. Plus oil will make it harder to stick down.

If I leave it perhaps 2 weeks before fitting the scuff should every thing be ok and of allowed the bat to have air dried??
