I've not tried it but I'm told that peanut
oil works
well.

The problem with peanut oil is that it deteriorates rapidly at higher
temperatures. It *was* used for fusing the tin-lead plating on circuit
boards into solder, but it has been replaced with other oils that are
MUCH more stable at higher temperatures. I used to fuse boards at about
450F, and it would take about 45 seconds or so to start discoloring the
board.
We won't talk about the smoke generated on the kitchen stove when I
first tried it :).
