Get a Pint of Snake Oil in a Centrifuge, give it a spin for 2 minutes and the following pours out:
50%: Stoddard solvent (i.e., mineral spirits -- primarily hexane, somewhat similar to kerosene)
25%: Liquefied petroleum gas
15+%: Mineral oil (light lubricating oil)
10-%: Inert ingredients
Mix it back together again and bottle it as WD40.0
