Hi lossanmu,

i suggest you to try paraffin oil (liquid paraffin). Here in Germany you can buy it at any (or lets say the most) pharmacy. They might have to order it, but its cheap. There are two different kinds of paraffin oil, a viscious one and a highly fluid one. I recommend the viscious (or thick) one. Im not sure whether u can buy it in pharmacies in sweden too, but you can give it a try.

problem i experienced is that if they don't have it in stock they can only order it literwise (litervis), which is obviously too much

Yep that was the problem in the first pharmacy where is asked. The second one could order 1/4 liter and they were so kind to refill it for me. So i got 100 ml (or i guess it was in gramms). So just try a different pharmacy if the first one only sells it literwise. But even if u can only get a liter, it is still cheap (i guess under 5 €). You will never need that much. But better to much, than nothing, right?
