<p><br></br> My wax has bubbles but not really noticeable. I used 100% bees wax, 91% alcohol and 70% alcohol.</p>
<p>Just melted the wax, poured it in the bottle, poured the 91% in when the wax melted again it sat on the bottom, I started to add the 70% in little doses until the wax started to rise a bit, then I added a couple of drops of dish detergent and continued to add 70% until the lava rose to the top and then fell back down.</p>

<p>I added a small piece of red oil pastel and it mixed with the natural tan color of the wax and I got that sweet tangerine color.</p>

<p>I am going to try another one, I hope I didn't just get lucky this first time.</p>

Your lava looks great! Can you tell me what wax you used in the lava to get that opaque / non-transparent look. I don't see any bubbles in your lava either. I have been experimenting with creating lava from scratch using container candle wax which has a lower melt point. I even added bees wax. I got the flow looking good but my lava still has lots of tiny bubbles. Whatever wax you used looks like it came out great.
