When you say gum turpentine, do you mean, pure turpentine, or is this something different? If so where does one source it?

Have tried motor oil (not impressed). Seems not to mix, for when the mixture was cooled, the pitch was as hard as ever, the oil located itself around the edge of the heating pot (aluminium hot pot). Problem mineral/not mineral combination?
