Default RE: Smoke Oil formulas

Sniggemann,
Interesting stuff and thanks for your imput.
I too have been experimenting with different smoke oils over the years. Everything from baby oil to candle oil to tranny fluid. I always seem to come back to Super Dri or the Bennett product. A few years back a friend who works in a local lab ran an analysis on Super Dri to see what it really was made up. It turned out to be hydrogenated Kerosene [middle distillate]. For us dummies I guess this means that it is basically kerosene with hydrogen atoms added to it. He also told me that it has a flash point of 260 degrees and a boiling point of 470 degrees. I"d be interested in hearing more about your product to see if it's less expensive and burns cleaner and thicker that what's out there now.
Thanks and good flying,
