Do they sell in small quantities, directly or by distributors?

I have a pretty good selection of tapping fluids but aluminum is so
easy with good taps that I just use kerosine from a needle bottle.


I find that denatured alcohol works pretty well for aluminum, and evaporates far
faster than kerosene.

But I was thinking of fluids for working steel.
