>Hi, We've been playing with an art piece for an exhibit where air
>bubbles form at the bottom of a tube and float up through the clear oil.
> I can't remember where else we've seen this, but we love the effect.
>
>After playing with some small amounts of food grade lubricating oil
>we've started looking for large amounts. The trick is finding a clear
>oil in different viscosities that won't break the bank. Does any one

>a retailer?
