Ths may be a stupid question, but could you cut vaseline with something to make it thinner and sprayable? Mineral oil?
@GHG:
It is not a stupid question
. The whole science is based on asking this type of questions. What, When, Where, Who, (w)how !
Your question is -
What happens if vaseline is mixed with mineral oil ?
Your other question is -
How can vaseline be made thinner and sprayable ?
Vaseline itself is a mixture of many different types and lengths of non-straight chain hydrocarbons of series CnH2n+2 and high boiling liquid hydrocarbons. It is insoluble in water but is solube in benzene, chloroform and ether. Dissolving in these strong organic solvents will make it a solution.
To mix with mineral oil - first warm and melt vaseline in a bowl, add warm mineral oil and keep stirring to mix, then let it cool. It will become a fatty liquid whose consistency will depend on the proportions of the two used.
