Use mineral spirits that has been de-aerated... I pour the mineral spirits
into a wine bottle and use one of those "suckers" to remove the air from an opened bottle of wine. After a day or so, the "air" will be pretty well extracted. Fill the compass appropriately. One trick to filling is to submerge the compass into a cup filled with the liquid and tilt it around so that all the trapped air pockets inside the compass can fill.

I had heard that using mineral spirits would suffice. Any suggestions?
