We have used a lot of different stuff over the years, but the last go around, we used mineral oil.  I would actually use olive oil if I had to do it again due to the concerns about mineral oil.

WHAT CONCERNS ABOUT MINERAL OIL?

I've heard it is two steps of refinement above motor oil and made at a place called a "refinement plant" which takes everything from roadkill to nappy used cooking oil and everything else which doesn't have a good place to be disposed at, where it is mixed up and heated into oil.
