What kind of retail store sells Mineral Oil? (1 Viewer)

[TudiscoKid]

Hi,

I'm looking to oil my brand new set of Royals, but I couldn't find mineral oil at the local Walmart (it's a rather small one).

Amazon Mexico, where I live has outrageous prices for mineral oil. So I'm wondering, what kind of store would have mineral oil for sure?

Thanks!

Any pharmacy. It’s a laxative.

Amazing, I will try that, thanks! Any particular type of mineral oil or any will do?

Tasteless. Colorless. Odorless.

My chips have never been more vibrant and I've never been more regular! Equate brand for me!

(Seriously, I think that osmosis through my hands is a real thing)...

What they said, Walmart, Target, Walgreens, etc. Whatever brand. Just Mineral oil. I think I got my last one at Walmart, about 2 bucks for a bottle.

Drink a couple of tablespoons and see how many chips you can oil before you have to run to the can.

Wait, before you do that, let me get my prop bets notebook out...

I believe i remember somebody said that in Europe what we call Mineral Oil in the US is called Paraffin Oil over there, which is a totally different thing here in the US. I would ask a pharmacist/chemist for Mineral Oil equivalent. Not 100% sure so maybe some of Euro oilers can chime in.

yes here it’s called huile de paraffine we can buy it in any pharmacy. I always say that it is not for my body but for my poker chips because I buy a large quantity and don’t want to look weird

It’s also great for wooden kitchen tools, like spoons and knife handles. It moistens the wood and makes it more water-resistant.

It's often used on butcher blocks and wooden counters where food is prepared.

No, lean into it. Make intense eye contact while ordering in bulk. Then take out a shopping list and cross off "Personal Slip n Slide" so the cashier can see.

Pharmacy is your best bet. Grocery stores and hardware stores are also likely to carry it, although they may brand it as butcher block or cutting board oil. I found mine at a hardware store. Make sure they don't try to sell you mineral spirits though, those are very different...

If you can find baby oil GEL, instead of the liquid, even better.

For oiling chips?

For oiling chips?

Yes. Less likely to get under the inlay, makes chip colors more vibrant, lasts longer than typical oil. If you can find one that is unscented, that's the best.

IKEA obviously

Just about any pharmacy should have mineral oil.
