<p> </p>
<p>What I did about a year ago with Perchlorethylene (PERC) works perfectly. But finding this substance is a problem in some countries. That's why I won't talk about it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Potassium carbonate was very corrosive, so it damaged the glitters. Too much alkaline solution. That's why I gave up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Calcium chloride was so beautiful at first, it damaged the glitters the next day. If the temperature of your home drops below 18 degrees Celsius, the solution crystallizes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What I did with sucrose is nice, but it works very slowly due to its viscosity. It gradually crystallized after a few weeks. Just like jam.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What I did with calcium nitrate works fine for now. Calcium nitrate is more harmless and is widely used as a fertilizer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here, from the left, there is a glitter lamp containing calcium nitrate, a glitter lamp containing calcium chloride, and a glitter lamp containing sucrose.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>12 volt 20 watt bulbs were used in all glitter lamps.</p>

<p>It's the same result. Glitter has no shine. The calcium chloride solution also destroyed the shine of the glitter.</p>
<p>Glitters became transparent.</p>
<p>Most likely, the glitter I use is very poor quality or there is another problem.</p>
<p>I filtered the whole calcium chloride solution. I added glitters that lost all their shine. I balanced the density.</p>
<p>Finally, I made a lamp made of glitter that lost its shine.</p>

<p>I bought technical grade calcium chloride dihydrate. Its purity is 99%. When I reviewed the literature, all the charts and tables are pure calcium chloride. The calcium chloride composition in the calcium chloride dihydrate that I bought it is 75.49% . Composition (% CaCl<sub>2</sub>)</p>
<p>Weighing 240 grams of calcium chloride dihydrate. I then dissolved it in 180 grams of water.</p>
<p>According to this:</p>
<p>Solution = 240 + 180 = 420g Here is the ratio. (240 x100 ) / 420 = 57,143%</p>
<p>But the calcium chloride content is 75.49%</p>
<p>Calcium chloride dihydrate purity 99%</p>
<p></p>
<p>Pure calcium chloride % that my solution should be:</p>
<p>57,143 x 0,7549 x 0,99 = 42,70%</p>
<p> As can be seen in the picture below, I have theoretically reached a density of 42% and 1,435 g/ml.</p>

<p>So far, so good. I stopped working because of my job. I had turned off the heating system of the house because I was traveling. When I got home, the temperature in the room was 15 - 16 degrees Celsius and my calcium chloride solution had crystallized.</p>
