I came across something called "fluid flex":

"Fluid Flex is a semi-liquid shortening and can be purchased through a bakery products purveyer. Sexton, Rykoff, D.Rosen are examples. Liquid shortening is the generic name if they carry another brand. It does wonders for uniformity of product. You can substitute 3 parts partially hydrogenated shortening (Hi-Ratio Shortening) to 1 part veg oil."
