I called Tulco Oils in Arlington, TX to order this product.  The person
I talked to said Tulco Oils has no such product.  She told me they did
however have a product called LUBSNAP 100, which sounded pretty close,
so that is what I ordered.  It is described on the label as "naphthenic
process oil - severely solvent refined heavy naphthenic distillate
(petroleum)".

I just tried this oil in my first rolled capacitor, a .005 uF
polyethylene unit using a single thickness of .093 ply as the
dielectric.  The oil held up perfectly.  I am using a 12kv 30 ma neon.

If anyone is interested in ordering this oil, here is the info:

	Tulco Oils
	627 112th Street
	Arlington, TX  76011

	(800) 880-0045

They do not take credit cards, but they do take a personal check.  A 5
gallon
pail of oil cost me $19.75 plus $1.54 tax.  Shipping was via UPS (they
just
stuck a label on the bucket!), and cost me $16.71 from Texas to New
Jersey.
