not that kind of paraffin--you are thinking of what would be called kerosene in the usa

liquid paraffin is a highly refined mineral oil used for cosmetics and for medical purposes

I cant help on the local supplier info, but mineral water (AKA deionized water) will also work. Try a local car battery shop - mine always have some cans for sale. Another idea is to approach a biological facility of sorts to find their supplier. Most labs and some schools have mineral oil/water.

I mentioned it merely as a proof of concept. Impurities would build up over time, resulting in conduction, but it would not happen instantly.
