Any salt like calcium, potassium, sodium chloride will cause a problem. It
will lower the break down voltage of the oil. One poster suggested sodium,
NO what was used was sodium amalgum (mercury) not sodium metal. This is made
by the electrolisis of salt water and mercury. Lime dose not have all the
problems that other methods have and will not distroy your oil. BUT it is
slow.
