So happens I  LIKE  the smell of Marvel Mystery Oil... at least for a few 
moments!  I have a squirt can loaded with the red stuff alla time .. works 
well on antenna projects....Reminds me of my much younger days... even 
before Whiskey Delta 4Ø!  I have filled Heath Cantennas with both mineral 
oil from the drug store (bought in the bulk container!) and with transformer 
oil obtained from a friendly PG&E (our CA electricity provider and wallet 
emptier) employee.  Results were swell, either way.  Next... to try the 
Mystery Oil .. sounds intriguing!)   Mark  AA6DX

I'm just guessing here, but I would not be surprised if it were Marvel 
Mystery Oil.
