Water soluable can get to be a real pain if its used in the deep south
with the humidity and temps. It almost goes rancid overnight. All
kinds of things grow in it here in Alabama. I too had problems if it
got rancid, as to itching if it got on me. As long as it was fresh I
did not have problems. Thats the biggest reason for my switching to
petro based fluids.

I've found that some oils go rancid much faster than others. The stuff
I use now, blasocut, has never gone rancid. It has no bacteriocides
either. In fact, it is non-toxic. Tastes like **** though... And it
doesn't change the way your coffee looks if you already have cream in
it.
