We use Pam also regular warm oil and I apply garlic or crawdad anise to it. We buy the worm oil by the gallon the crawdad and Anacin the other we buy in pint bottles which will last you a lifetime. I haven’t tried to experiment with regular cooking oil, which I don’t think it would hurt anything but I haven’t heard of anybody trying it yet.. but if you think about it, Pam is a cooking spray which is probably made out of the same stuff as the cooking oil reviews Pam for mini mini years in making my plastics usually spray on half of the mold so the beach won’t stick to the other side then I’m able to pull details often do a second body.
