Does anyone have a good source for parks #50 in 5 gal pails other than Kelly Cupples?

Thanks in advance.
 
Hmmmmm.....I like to use the same stuff everytime....Usually it is canola oil left over from deep frying.....I checked into my old books many years ago on shop practices and they always advocated vegetable oil. It is stable, not expensive, has no additives (other than little bits of fried stuff you missed in the filter process) and has been used for centuries. Other than that, I wouldn't know.
 
vegetable oil is no where near fast enough for what I need.

I'm planing on trying some W2 and all I have is mcmaster carr 11sec oil, and I don't think it will be fast enough for W2.
