Status: offline 		Hi all, I've been trying to find out what to use as smoke fluid since ready made smoke fluid is not available in Malaysia.

Could any of you advice what would produce thick smoke and what mixing ratios of each component in the smoke fluid are, so that I can try and find the stuff needed.

I plan to use it with a sullivan smoke pump. A friend of mine used a mixture of concrete foam oil and diesel, the smoke wasn't all that thick and his pump was damaged after 7-8 times of use.

Thanks
