So ive mixed up a drop of wax , wich i made out of paraffin wax and brakeleen, with pure VG and water, when i added more vg to the water it clouded up after i shook it, is this the wax floating in the liquid? It has to be that its to dense or could there be salt left in the wax from the last liquid mixture i used. I used a hydrometer and the solutions around 1.075. Its very hard to get the wax out of my vase so if i could drop a chunk of clean wax in and heat it with no water would that lighten…

Or should i see if the particles sink in a lighter liquid. Thanks for help.

<p>I have some clear liquid labeled "Glycerin USP 99.5% (Anhydrous)"</p>
<p>Is this the same as <span>propylene glycol?</span></p>
<p><span>Can I use this glycerin stuff to get the wax to rise? Do you just pour it in the operating lamp? Is it ok to use if there is already some epsom salts in the water? Thanks for helping me understand!…</span></p>

<p>Now I want to make new liquids for this lamps without any salts. Which of these chemicals will be the best to use here? I need Your help, because i spend too much money on these babies already :)</p> Lazy Lavatag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2012-05-15:1566398:Topic:3908352012-05-15T20:23:47.868ZAstralavhttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/Astralav
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I've got a Telstar Mathmos bottle who's got a lazy flow.</p>
<p>Nearly never make it to the top, very slow flow.</p>
<p>I switch the bottle with another Telstar Lamp, this is not a base issue as the other bottle works well.</p>
<p>This is a formula issue.</p>
<p>What can I add to cure this lamp?</p>
<p>A little Propylene Glycol? Some Glycerin?</p>
<p>Something else? (I don't want to use salt in my Mathmos')</p>
<p>thanks</p>
