Default RE: Buying Castor - which type?

You should look out for a castor Oil that has been polymerised or hydrogenated.

The hydrogentated castor oil is basically de-waxed Castor. The de waxing process cracks the long chains into shorter chains so that it does not wax up in storage or lower temps.

Medicanal castor isnot dewaxed, its just filtered and purified. Not the best stuff for a modern model engine
