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.
Only mineral oil have solvents (who degrade plastics).
Also, cooking oil tends to "polymerize" over time - i.e. get gummy. It's a real mess then.
Neat idea though.
That's true, but it takes medium time to do it (a couple of months). But even in meantime there is a major problem: all vegetable oils have some degree of acidity. So they will
corrode exposed metals (like chip pins, nude wires, solder pads, connectors, etc). :pancake:
