Substitue for water soluble machining oil

[hmeier4799]

What might be a substitute for water soluble maching oil for making "moose milk"? I can only find the oil in bulk form, much more than I would ever use.

Go to NAPA and get it. They have it in quart or gallon. Also they may have some Sta-Lube brand & it is part# SL2512 and it is the same thing. A quart will make a gallons of moose-milk. If ya can't find it there email me & I can get ya some in necessary. Or you may go to any small machine shot & buy a quart of it from sthem, as they all use it. [email protected].

Also, about 6 ounces of Non-aerosol Ballistol in a gallon of water makes some good moose-milk too. Some are using 4, some 6, some 8 ounces in it, just depends on the guy.

I use castor oil, but you have to dissolve it in alcohol before adding the water and Murphy's oil as it doesn't dissolve in water.
