Tech/maintenance When and where to use Key Oil

[delboy1961]

I have just bought a sax care kit which contains some key oil.Is this something I should use all the time or only if a key is sticking,Also is it dangerous to things like pads coz I am a bit heavy handed and dont want to damage anything

Dont let the oil go anywhere near the pads delboy, it will ruin them, only use it on the key pivot points and only use a tiny drop on each.
