I thought all the nut sack questions had been answered... but NO!! I always assumed a good nut sack had a moistening affect on whatever you chose to rub it on... or, at least, that was ALWAYS my experience... .

Folks who participate in shows will oil the pots just before the show to more consistently darken the clay and hide blemishes like mineral deposits and small surface abrasions. I've always used mineral oil applied with a rag, but @adair has routinely uses a sock full of crushed walnuts to rub directly on his pots. A sock full of nuts = nut sock, which is just one consonant from nut sack....Well, crap. Neighbors just called the cops on me because I was out in the yard teabaggin my empty bonsai pots. Apparently I missed out on a rather important inside joke.
That all depends on how hot it is.I thought all the nut sack questions had been answered... but NO!! I always assumed a good nut sack had a moistening affect on whatever you chose to rub it on... or, at least, that was ALWAYS my experience... .

the best sock to use is someone else's sock...Cotton socks are best. skip the nylon, non absorbing materials. you want to evenly apply the oil. Synthetics will allow more oil through and as you note, could be abrasive.Thank you for sharing @Adair M , this method appeals to me!
Can I please ask what kind of sock you use? I imagine not an absorbent gym sock, but also not a women's pantyhose because it could be abrasive? Are you actually using a sock, or more like a tea bag or cheese cloth?
Very interested in the details - thank for you for your time!
