Question

How do I knock in a cricket bat?

Community Answer

Buy a mallet and some raw linseed oil. Apply the oil and let in soak in. Then, knock the bat using moderate pressure until the edges are rounded and the bat is ready to use.

Question

What can I use instead of linseed oil?

Community Answer

Some artists use walnut oil, safflower, or sunflower oil with success. You need to use an oil that dries by thickening and hardens with exposure to air, otherwise the paint will never dry. Walnut oil is the most common substitute.

No. The bat will slip and you can’t hold it properly.
