Hi lads,
Clue is in the title! Can't get my hands on rocket fuel. I know it's supposued to be fancier, not loosing it's viscosity with heat etc etc.. but what grade standard oil could I use as a substitute? I use 80/90 oil for slosh 30's and it's great stuff just looking for something similar to red rocket fuel for smaller reels
Thanks,
Liam

try silicone oil, widely available (Lidl had it recently as spray) and very stable under a variety of conditions.
