@@Peterkleemusic Our lunists and repairmen here have given a suggestion that the maple fingerboard does not need to be oiled. It is not recommended to wipe the oil. This will make the original bright maple color darker and darker. If it is dirty, you can wipe it with a wet cloth.
I just happened to come upon this video by chance, when I notice the fretboard oil/cleaner that you are using says on the label that is not meant for maple fretboards. At least it says that on the new 65 Dunlop’s containers. I know this because I was using it on a maple board and found out afterwards. Is that a maple board?
Thanks for asking and your thoughts! I think it depends on the finish. some maple boards are coated, or satin. It's dangerous on satin finish or natural, because you will get the stain. This is maple, but coated, you wanna clean very fast after you put the oil.
