Default MEK vs MEKP

I can find MEK locally, but not MEKP (methel ethel ketone peroxide)...will the MEK work as well as MEKP for an ignition improver or does it need the peroxide in order to work? I have checked auto supply, body shops and boat repair shops for MEKP but no luck. Another question, I have read where some use castor, others use 10-30W (not designed for combustion)...how about 2 stroke oil (which is for combustion) mixed at 25 - 30%? Bad idea? I have castor on hand, but also have the 2 stroke for motorcycles (Yamalube). Seems the 2 stroke would be better than 10 - 30W. Don't want to start another oil war here, just curious. Thanks for your help.
