I'm not the you, below, but I'd make a prism from scrap glass using  
RTVR * to seal the joints.

Any oil is messy -- make more than one prism;  fill one w/ oil, and  
seal on a lid.


* room temp. vulcanizing rubber (silicone seal)

bc  purchased "for a song"* suitable glass containers (cylinder, semi- 
cylinder parallelepiped) but the cat broke tow of them!

* RAFT, of course
