Wood vs Synthetic lanes.

There are also different types of Lane oils. Where I bowl now, back in the 1980's, the owner back then didn't use lane oil at all. He used barrels of mineral oil. It wasn't flammable and any kid who was daft enough to licks their bowling ball or their hands couldn't get poisoned.

I think have read somewhere that the base to lane conditioning oil is Mineral oil.

I thought I was losing my mind or changing something to cause the odd transition. Thanks for confirming it for me.
