What is the shelf life of Music Nomad F-One Oil?

Bellycaster

As per title, I've had a bottle of this Oil for about 5 years, silly question, but, might it be not good to use now. I would assume Oil would last ages but thought I would check? Not used it in a couple of years.

Thanks.

I'm not familiar with that brand or type of oil but I've used linseed oil that was a good 15 years old on furniture with no ill effects

Having just spoke to the head of UK distribution for Musicnomad gear, @Bellycaster , your F-One oil should be good unless it has been stored below freezing point.

Bellycaster

Thanks @Handsome_Chris The house does get cold sometimes, but I think it should be OK

I suppose it will last a few more years if stored at a reasonable temperature?

Handsome_Chris

@Bellycaster ,  I expect that you can keep it for ages at a reasonable temperature, but why not just use the stuff?  I use it once every six months on my guitars, unfinished maple too, and they come up a treat.

Have you been neglecting your guitars?  :P

I have to admit to becoming lazy @Handsome_Chris ;

I have more Guitars now, so it takes them longer to become dirty as there is less play time on each. That's my excuse anyway

I'll have to treat them all soon.

It's been buried in the Earth's crust for millennia, so another 5 years isn't going to make a difference.

Bloody youngsters, I've a Glass bottle of 'Polycel' linseed that must be nearer 40 years old and still gets used to dab here and there once in a while. The screw on plastic lid can be a bugger to move though.

And you tell kids that now and they don't believe you.
