Hi, I am searching for a clear transparent oil which has same viscosity as that of Water. the oil has to be immiscible with water. Can you please suggest any of-the-shelf product? I have read that silicon oil can be obtained with viscosity as low as water. What about spindle oil or any other synthetic/Mineral oils?
Thanks
