Home made Ballistol

[passgas55]

Any one has a recipe for making their own Ballistol? I use the stuff for black powder shooting and do find it does a good job.
I do have some water solvent cutting oil from NAPA and use it cut with water for cleaning bp but Ballistol is better.

use a metalworking Soluble oil mixed maybe 1-5 ratio with water.

Pretty sure Ballustol is made from pharmaceutical grade components, fwiw. I don’t plan on dressing wounds with it, so might not matter... but supposedly you can.

I thought it was essentially neat isopropyl alcohol, pure mineral oil, and one other thing... some fatty acid or something...
