Hi Tyler.

If you can't get ahold of transformer oil, you can use mineral oil (from a  
pharmacy) or a cheap grade of motor oil. Get the cheapest you can find....you 
don't want the extra additives found in higher-grade motor oils. I have 
successfully used motor oil in many applications (unpotted neons, capacitors, 
etc.) It works great.

But, of course high voltage transformer oil is the best by far; however, you 
will pay for it. So shoot a pig and let it leak into a bucket JUST KIDDING. 
Where did that come from?!
