Hi
Personal preference is to use a pump oil can with a pipe cleaner thing from a craft shop inserted in the spout with little bit sticking out to use as a brush or to drip on to the workpiece.

My exotic approach for the small amount I do is using one of my wife's empty hair colour bottles with the tube from a WD40 can inserted snugly through the cap.
I used to fill the bottle with a mixture of 30W oil and Kerosene 25/75 approx. In use, I upend said bottle, gentle or not so gentle squeeze to get the amount I want and start work. I also sometimes just let the heat of my hand expand the air inside the bottle and achieve a drip feed when parting off.
Lately I have begun using, "Angels Breath tapping fluid" because I made some up and A, it works ok and B, it stinks better. :palm:
Still, as has been stated previously, it was the joy of making the Tuna Oil tub that was the aim of Joules in his original post.
Oh, and Angels Breath does work well as a tapping fluid. Strange, as that was its intended use.
To save you asking, Angels Breath as I use it is a mix of,
1 Part Artists Turpentine (Not Mineral),
2 Parts White Spirits and
3 Parts Olive Oil.

Best tapping fluid if you get get the ingredients is 3 parts trike to one part ATF or similar hydraulic oil.

I have tried the mist systems before but don't like them on many fronts.
One is my compressors are quite large and if I only need to run one for a mist system it's expensive and wasteful.
As the pressure fluctuates, so does the delivery and it;s a very fine line to get it right, if you can.
lastly working with largish cutters for a long while with mist causes a fig in the air that you are breathing, not nice and certainly not good for you.
I'm working on a positive pumped system using a small geared DC variable speed motor driving a Peristaltic pump. These can give as much as you like or as little and be very consistent, something I have found every coolant system I have come across to lack.
