mineral oil and mineral spirits

[copdills]

I see that people use both to mix in with Lee alox, what is the difference between the two and which is the best to use and where do you fellows buy this product

I doubt anyone actually uses mineral oil in LLA, as it would not dry.
Mineral spirits is paint thinner and rapidly evaporates,, it just allows you to put a thinner coat or to thin out an older bottle that has evaporated some of it's thinner.

Mineral oil...just think baby oil.

I use mineral oil in making bullet lube but not to thin LLA.

Mineral Spirits is found at Wally World, "Your" Mart & local Hardware stores.

Mineral Oil can be found at Wally World, Drug Emporium, Rite Aide etc..

As stated above Mineral Oil is just un-scented Baby Oil.

I use Mineral Oil as an ingredient for my bullet lube recipes too.

Thanks guys, just wanted to make sure it was mineral spirits not mineral oil I thought mineral spirits had the drying agent in it

The label on the circa 16 oz bottle of stuff I use to thin my LLA reads, "Mineral Oil U.S.P. Intestinal Lubricant."

You can drink small amounts of medical grade Mineral oil for a lubricating effect to the digestive system. I believe that mineral oil is also the main ingredeant in Ballistol gun/real oil as they claim it is non-toxic.
