You may understand once you reach "a certain age". I think I've mentioned here previously how one evening I carefully oiled a Delrin flute...
Desi Seery recommended it.

Not at all clear why oiling Delrin would be any advantage. Did Mr. Seery explain?
Best wishes.

From 2001 emails: It's plastic, no need to oil it, although some people do - I suppose it may help moisture run
off. According to Desi (same timeframe): Delrin flutes are only oiled when they sound "dry".
