I'm having trouble finding Naphtha in my area for or online for an okay price. You mentioned using mineral oil. Would it be about the same ratios or other changes I might want to look into?

Not mineral oil, but mineral spirits. I don't know how well or even if mineral spirits works, as I've not tried it myself. An alternative to naphtha is white gas camping fuel.

And thank you for the button trick, never knew that one.
