It might work, but doesn't oil react with plastics and break them down over time?  I'm thinking about the plastic in wiring insulation & IC packages.

Also, cooking oil tends to "polymerize" over time - i.e. get gummy.  It's a real mess then.

Neat idea though.

Short?  Do you not understand water is an insulator?  The only problem in using water is electrolosys.

Could someone provide a source for this information?  I've always thought that water was a conductor, hence don't use electronics around the bathtub, wet floors, etc.

[EDIT] Ah, I think I understand.  Pure water is not a conductor, it's the dissolved metals and minerals in water that make it a conductor.  That's why you guys are talking about using distilled water as an insulator.  Have I got it now?
