>Ken,
  The mineral oil you need is Thermia-C from the shell oil corporation.It is
perfect for the homemade caps.I have been using it successfully for 5-years
now.It comes in  
5-gallon pails for about 26.00....much cheeper that buying the mieral oil in
the drug store or in the pharmacy.Check it out.
