One good choice in EDM fluid is Exxon Isopar-M. It's a light mineral oil
used as a solvent for insecticides and personal care products.
Characteristics are similar to most specific marketed extra low viscosity
EDM fluids. Last time I purchased, it was $233.87/barrel...about half the
going rate for specific marketed EDM fluids.
