Dusty,
I am not aware of any way to "fog" our mineral oil. We do sell it to the
grain elevators who "mist" it on the grain to reduce dust and the
possibility of explosion inside the elevator. I'm sure there is a way to
do this though I just not aware of any. Our lightest mineral oil is a 50
second oil(about a 3W...very light). Please contact me at 1-800-486-0203
for more information.
