I've read alot of posts about quenching over the last hour. I need to have the ability to produce hardened tools immediately. I made a tap with a thru hole in it out of 4140 and heated and quenched it in the only oil I had at the time. It worked but not as well as I would like. I've ordered some O-1 stock from MSC. The problem is I read a post about #2 quenching oil, and I can't find anywhere to buy it.

This place has alot of oils. Can someone please point one out that would be suitable? I'm doing this with a rosebud in an open bay.
Thanks
