   You can guess all you want because everyone on the Internet is guessing.   
   Most of the guesses I found were self contradictory and so worthless.   
      
   My guess is whenever they claim it's a "special" oil "Invented in 1914",   
   they're expecting people to be stupid enough to believe that junk.   
      
   Nobody is that stupid.   
   (Well, most people are that stupid, but I'm not that stupid.)   
      
   I'm sure there's /something/ on them though, as otherwise they'd be a felt   
   sponge soaking up and retaining not only water, but acid, but as for a   
   "special" oil, I suspect it's no different than any regular basic thin oil.   
      
   It's just an oil.   
   What you need is anything but water.   
      
   Take a piece of felt and soak it in any "special" oil in your kitchen.   
   Olive oil is what I'd use.   
   Extra virgin is pretty special.   
   First cold pressed is the most special of them all.   
      
   Darn. Now I let out the secret of my super secret "special" oil. :->
