Default Castor oil

Where should I get castor oil for my Fox 35, O.S. .35 and Enya .15. Should I use Klotz Benol, Maxima 927, apothecary castor, Sig castor or Brodak's castor.
Thanks for your help, Joe Butch

I would advise against apothecary castor. It probably isn't de-gummed. Being less refined, it will produce more ash and is more likely to polymerize over time. I'm most familiar with the Sig product but any genuine castor should do.

Brodak also has it. I’ve used Sig caster it’s the best in my book. Don’t know about this new company that bought out Sig. they moved it in the.zchicago area. I’ve also used the Brodak fuel. Kinda sounds like your doing own brew. But the stuff you buy at places like Walmart, and any of the drug stores is not good Caster for our purpose. You can get a gallon at Aircraft Spruce. I buy all my Dope from them and retarder and thinner also alcohaul. Keep them lines tight!
