    Welcome Haitham,
    "Also reaches into the areas between fingerboard and fret"
    Sounds like they want you to work it in well. Force some under the fret wire with a
    Q-
    Tip

    "The oil can be added in small amounts directly to the fretboard using the nozzle. Immediately work it into the wood with a thin cloth or a small brush. Pay particular attention to the frets. High-quality care - Made in Germany!"

    I suspect they are cautioning the user to make sure that oil is applied where the fret meets the fingerboard, and that any excess oil at base of the frets is absorbed by the cloth. In my view, if you are applying so much oil that it can accumulate there it's too much. A nice thin coat is all that's required. Let it sit a moment or two and then buff it off with a clean and dry cloth.

    Thank you very much,

    I'm just bellacura website to understand how to apply the oil. I'll not be buying their oil as its too expensive
    and I have plenty of good options in my home.

    Thanks for all the aswers, it's all been very informative
