Why would you put any substance on a game use bat? Does it prevent deadwood; then I'm interested. The bat drying out, and exhibiting deadwood, or the separation of wood layers is what I believe to be the bat collectors biggest problem.
It helps prevent the drying out of the wood, so that is why older bats stand to benefit. Many of these that have been sitting around for years need a little TLC, bring back the look a bit. That is why you use it. The reversal of grain separation or splitting it will not do, that is only thru repair.

Thank you. I also have a theory that deadwood is a product of dry air, lack of humidity. Do members in warmer more humid areas see this not happening as often? Also vintage bats that have been "boned" I think have less deadwood occurring.
