<p>Hello, I am looking for a source of glitter, preferably 10*10 mm silver squares. It needs to be resistant to a calcium nitrate solution or maybe even also perchloroethylene.<br/>Holographic would also be nice, even though I think I have some 5mm tinsel curtain that actually works. My 10*10 mylar confetti seems to look worse after getting into my nitrate solution, but not eaten away yet (it's been a few weeks). It's also maybe a little too transparent.<br/><br/>I'm based in Denmark, EU.</p>

<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>This week I tried various chemicals for the glitter lamp.</p>
<p>First I searched for safety data sheets for glitter.</p>
<p>Because the safety data sheets contain the density of glitter. From this I can calculate the density of the liquid. The chemicals I will use must be non-hazardous. I used PERC in my previous work. I have now tried four different chemicals.</p>

<p>The solution was too alkaline (pH=12), the substance that gave shine to the glitters disappeared.</p>

<p></p> HOW I MADE MY CUSTOM GLITTER LAMPtag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2021-04-17:1566398:Topic:8418792021-04-17T17:47:04.367ZTevfik Dogrumanhttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/TevfikDogruman
<p>I decided to make a glitter lamp this weekend. I did a research on the glitter lamp first on the internet. I did not come across much information. There are generally two practices (methods). 1. FREON, whose chemicals are now prohibited and not manufactured. 2. Saturated calcium chloride or calcium nitrate solution. Along with these two, not much mentioned glycerine + water, perchlorethylene + mineral oil.</p>

<p>I decided to make a glitter lamp this weekend. I did a research on the glitter lamp first on the internet. I did not come across much information. There are generally two practices (methods). 1. FREON, whose chemicals are now prohibited and not manufactured. 2. Saturated calcium chloride or calcium nitrate solution. Along with these two, not much mentioned glycerine + water, perchlorethylene + mineral oil.</p>
<p>First I tried to do it with calcium chloride. Really troublesome method (for me). If a small amount of calcium chloride got into the bottle, the bottle became blurry. It's really hard to adjust the intensity. Due to the polarity of the glitter and the aqueous calcium chloride solution used, the glitter stuck together. I don't have a lot of glitter on hand. Empty the bottle again, wash with pure water, waste of time and material.</p>
<p>What was I using? Polyester Glitter. At that time, I thought I had to solve this problem with organic chemicals. Because of the polarity.</p>
<p>I don't have the luxury of wasting chemicals. Both the environment and the money. But calcium chloride went to waste. The job is simple. Making the density of the giltter almost equal to the density of the liquid. Then, with a little heat, to start the movement by providing the small density change that will occur in the liquid in the bottle.</p>
<p>Materials I have: Glitter, PERC and silicone oil (100cs and 5000cs)</p>
<p>First, I weighed 40 grams of silicon oil (5000cs). I added the glitter. Glitter dipped in silicone oil. I added 40 grams of PERC. The glitters are at the bottom. I re-added 40 grams of PERC. The gliders are still at the bottom. Step by step I added another 40 grams of PERC. Glitteres tended to float slowly. I gradually added 20 grams of PERC and reached the density I wanted.</p>
<p>For the empty part of the bottle I weighed another 80 grams of silicone oil (100cs) and 280 grams of PERC. You will ask why I used 100cs silicone oil this time? To reduce the silicone oil viscosity. I once accidentally bought 5000cs of silicone oil. It just stood, I wanted it to be used.</p>

<p>If everything was okay, the glitter should move when I put the bottle in my palm.</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://oozinggoo.ning.com/video/custom-glitter-lamp">http://oozinggoo.ning.com/video/custom-glitter-lamp</a></p>
<p></p>
<p>If this happens:</p>
<ol>
<li>When I put the bottom of the bottle on a black surface, I can run it with solar energy.</li>
<li>I can operate it by using power led.</li>
</ol>

<p>Both are 10" high. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Lamp1: white plastic cap and base. Everything is attached - cap, base, globe. Powered with three AA batteries (not included). </p>
<p>Colors: green, orange, pink. Glitter is small and hex-shaped.</p>
<p>Powered by spinning plastic disc that's held in place by a magnet. NOT powered by heat/bulb. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Lamp2: black plastic cap and base. Everything is attached - cap, base, globe. Powered with three AA batteries (not included). </p>
<p>Colors: green, purple, blue. Glitter is larger and star-shaped. </p>
<p>Powered by spinning plastic disc that's held in place by a magnet. NOT powered by heat/bulb. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Does not come with: Batteries nor power adapter. And good luck finding a power adapter for that lamp that doesn't cost the same amount as the lamp. Battery area is held in plastic by a plastic piece that has a tiny screw (annoying). </p>
<p></p>
<p>Found at: Target, eBay, Spencer's. The star one is harder to find, but it looks like they are already discounting/clearing these. I only saw them in Target briefly. They were $15 initially, but are now down to $10 - $12, which is a more fair price. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I got the 2nd one (star-shaped glitter) eBay and it came with some of the fluid on the outside of the lamp. Apparently this is not a rare occurrence. Not sure where it leaked from exactly. But, it did clean up and the lamp works. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Reviews of this lamp online overall are poor. Both of my lamps function well and are actually really pretty. I do like them a lot. However, as always, quality is hit and miss and I would not pay more than $12 for one of these. </p> ON SALE RARE RUSSIAN "SPUTNIK" LAMP!!

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I have recently purchased a Crestworth Princess; I was very lucky to find this late one night on ebay a month or so ago. This one is quite unusual as it has glitter fluid that is similar to my autumn leaves Astro-Nordic Glitterlite.</p>
<p>The history of this lamp can be traced back to 1965 as it has been in the same ownership since then; It was originally owned by the father of the lady I purchased it from. She was under the impression that it was an American lamp as her father brought it to the UK from America on a trip he made in 1965. She was a young child at the time and only remembers it having the glitter it has now and never lava.</p>
<p>The lamp has been well looked after and shows little sign of its age considering the travelling it has done; as I well know it has gone from the UK to America and back again.</p>
<p>So I will now get to the problem I have: the liquid condensates at the top of the vessel, passes by the seal and runs down the outside of the bottle. I have removed the collar, seal and cross clamp from the top of the vessel and given all of it a good clean but this did not help, I then created a new seal that was not much better.</p>
<p>Can anyone suggest a good method of sealing my lamp?</p>
<p>I have seen a compression seal used on XXL Lunar bottles that could possibly be copied for mine although I would obviously require a larger diameter.</p>
<p>The lamp is disassembled at present whilst my house is undergoing renovation. Because of the fluid leak, I have had to decant it into a large sturdy sealed container. I will also be replacing the bulb holder and lead as these are no longer safe or fit for purpose.</p>
<p>I have included some pictures of the lamp as well as the current seal which it came with (please excuse the mess in the background).</p>
<p>Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>From the Lava Library (Jonas):<br/> The Glitter Lite (introduced Jan. 1, 1969)<br/> "Twinkling, sparkling, scintillating Glitter Lite - like bits of tinted starlight floating in a brilliant sky! Glitter Lite provides light, motion and brilliant sparkling color. Everchanging, constant action...starts within two minutes. Makes a remarkable conversation piece with unlimited possibilities"<br/> Glitter Lite was the first glitter lamp known to be made in the US, and used a thick, oily liquid. The glitter was extremely fine, like metallic dust, and moved slowly. In operation, the effect is very subtle, but captivating once noticed.</p>
