Mineral oil is American for Paraffin oil, a chemist shop will have it in
500mL or 1 L bottles but can order in 5 Litre containers from Faulding, 91
Hardys Rd, Underdale, SA, 5032. If they don't want to try another chemist
shop. Buying in 5 L containers is much cheaper.
Its medical grade so it should be pure, I got 20 L about 6 years ago at
$26.20 for a 5 Litres container.
I had lots of problem finding it till I learned that Americans call Liquid
Paraffin Mineral oil.
Good luck,
