   I mixed my compound years ago and I use water and dish soap. worked very well just make it a creamy texture. just do small batches enough to do what you want to lap in. Hope this helps.

   Check the label on a couple of premixed brands. Probably some type of silicon gel. Try some wetting agent. I had an old mechanic that used to use kerosene until we started getting an oil slick on a nearby pond. Kenneth Ingram, UMD

   It's been so many years but as I remember I used hydraulic oil. It made a nice creamy mixture.
