<p>Newer wax formulas use chlorinated paraffin to the extent that they will float with only distilled water</p>
<p>PERC has been out of production lamps for decades due to it's environmental and carcinogenic properties</p>

<p>I know this is an old post I'm reviving.</p>
<p>But in case anyone else finds this and wonders...</p>
<p>In my experimenting, I made one lamp where I didn't add as much PERC to the wax as is typically recommended in the recipes you find around here. (I probably started around 20-25% rather than 33%.)</p>

<p>I've heard of grande's flowing with surf and distilled water only so it stands to reason that smaller lamps would do the same. Luck of the draw with these china lamps. I guess it shows that continuity from batch to batch is lacking.</p>
<p>Also,</p>
