IMHO, and in many others who have been around the block a few times, LL's take is the last word on this.

FWIW

For some reason I'm not special enough to read your link. :( Maybe it's my paltry number of posts.

George is, for those who don't know him,

and among the best in the business.

(Disclosure : Not only do I have no financial or familial relationship with him, he thinks I'm nuts. But fair is fair : when you're good, you're good. And he's famously good at what he does. Which is restore pipes).

I can't imagine why the link doesn't work for you. But if you want the whole nine yards of it, it's currently on page 21 in The Pipe Rack.

You'll have to register for the Asylum in order to read the thread. It's easy and anyone is welcome. It's just a restricted area for members so the itinerant web surfer won't be offended by our chicanery. :p

I'm just wondering why olive-oil would be the choice, if one feels the need to use some sort of oil? It has a pretty strong taste I think. How would, say, almond oil do? I use that to oil my flute, and the instrument hasn't gone rancid or anything just yet. :lol:
