Linseed oil?

You realize that it does eventually solidify sort of, not just gel. Linseed oil has been used for centuries in oil painting as a medium. That means that it does eventually dessicate or El Greco's work would be running off the canvas! Al has cautioned in the past about using organic materials that harden like that.

Meantime, mineral oil is good for turning vibes into heat (or so I read and have found in using it) and does not dessicate quickly at all.

Frankly, I like Max's solution of mortite and then potting. Makes most sense to me.

I'm using either Microsorb or Al's cotton batting solutions for the damping and both work fine.
