I suppose that's a working brew, but Caig admits to no naptha in the pure DeoxIT bottles, like D100L, in fact admits nothing in the MSDS except a flash point above 482 F. The spray version they admit is 75% naptha, 20% propane or isobutane, and 5% DeoxIT. While oleic acid is a component of many cleaning compounds including hair shampoo, neither it nor naptha is going to leave significant lubricant behind and naptha has a rather low flash point, like 42F. They say the active ingredients are a trade secret.

So if you would please be specific and let us know exactly what you
are using, I and I'm sure a lot of other people would be very happy.

I use a 5% Oleic Acid and 95% Naptha mixture which works great and you
can buy a lifetime supply for about the same price of a bottle of the
name-brand stuff. You can also mix up a stronger mixture and a weaker
mixture for different applications. I use a syringe with "2.5%", "5%",
and "10%" written on it so I know what is in each. I keep each mixture
stored in a glass container until I need to refill a syringe.
