BTW In the USA you can buy food grade mineral oil (a Texan chef told me about this stuff).
You can get it in the UK as well - somewhere I have a can of bacon slicer oil (my mum used to be head chef in a school kitchen)....

Turpentine (also called spirit of turpentine, oil of turpentine, and wood turpentine) is a fluid obtained by the distillation of resin obtained from live trees, mainly pines.
White spirit (UK)[note 1] or mineral spirits (US),[1][2][3] also known as mineral turpentine, turpentine substitute, petroleum spirits, solvent naphtha (petroleum) or Stoddard solvent,[4][5] is a petroleum-derived clear, transparent liquid which is a common organic solvent used in painting and decorating.
