<p>Hmm it seems we have both came to the same conclusions, but in different ways. I am trying to recreate the original 60's formula but I really dont know what I am doing. I am learning as I go so I thought I would point you towards my post, you might find some interesting information.</p>

LOL! So this idea could be used to spring life into my "dead" Grandes? I may need to have you hold my hand through their revival... they haven't flowed in 2-3 years. I changed their fluid color last year & now they melt, but no blobs :(

<p>Vixen, it is really not that complicated. I am doing this because I like to resuscitate dead LL's and see them come back to life. That 14oz Orange as been flowing great and is now one of my favorites.</p>

<p>PS. I love you to. ;-)</p>

Goo Geek... too much scientific jumbo for me, but I think I love you... Are you thinking on creating & selling or just for your own amusement? The orange is spectacular!

If the lava just balls up and doesn't move and it is not because the lamp has over heated then it is because the specific gravity / density of the lava and liquid are equal. I have found this to be the case with most of the new China lamps I have purchased. When they heat up the lava just balls up and floats in the middle of the lamp. The red lamp above is an example. I changed the liquid and added PERC to the lava and it is now flowing well.<br />
<br />
Do a search on PERC and you will get lots of info…

I buy my fog machine liquid from Party City for about $16 per gallon. They are a big chain down here in South FL. Any fog machine liquid should do. The main ingredients that give it the extra weight are Glycois and Glycerin. The rest is water.

<p>Looks fantastic - good work. <br/>I have the same issue with one of my LL lamps - it just sits at a blob at the bottom for ever, I will probley try your formula on it.<br/><br/>I understand most of the ingredients except I don't know what 'perc' is and what the soap solution is exactly also what type of fog machine fluid are you using - I have got a lode of Jem medium density fluid, what type were you using?. <br/><br/><br/></p>

<p>Not around as much as i used to be....the work you have done here is INCREDIBLE. I get a little nervous about the salt tho....and have you considered adding food coloring to the liquid for more color combos?</p>

<p>Here are two more China lamps I created using the distilled water and fog machine liquid mix. Unlike the red lamp where I used the existing lava, with these I made the lave from scratch. One is a 52oz dark blue and the other is a 14oz orange. The lava is made of 85% container wax, 15% bees wax, Magma Tower dye and just enough Perc to sink the lava. Here are three pics, two of the 52oz and one of the 14oz.…</p>
