To store reactive metals there is often used mineral oil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Kerosene is a reasonably widely available choice. Ditto white spirit. However, if you can't get them you have little chance of getting sodium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkerer Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 We always used Kerosene, or "stove oil". However, nowadays, my sodium is all stored as NaCl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
