<p>Well, yes… it was why I was asking - to see if anyone has done this and knew what types of glitter would work. <br/><br/>Haven’t added anything yet but a bought a packet of cosmetic grade heat/ solvent resistant glitter that I was contemplating trying, in terms of shape and size it looks virtually identical to the glitter the bottle was issued with. <br/><br/><br/><br/></p>

<p>You may find changing the actual glitter pieces / add new glitter may result in not flowing, the glitter flakes in the liquid you have has been worked out for weight and suspension in the fluid aka use heavier glitter could result in it staying at the bottom and not moving, or to light and stay at the top<br></br> <br></br> <cite>lampfancy said:…</cite></p>

<p>I do it all the time just don't mix different brands. See some of the lamps I've posted here that I've designed using other glitter lamps liquid and glitter and it's way cheaper to swap. One day LavaLite had a sale and free shipping so I jumped to the chance to create the perfect set of lamps. I think it took something like 14 or more to create the worlds only two Grande 27'' Rainbow Glitter lamps. I believe I have pictures posted of the lamps here.

I think it took something like 14 or more to create the worlds only two Grande 27'' Rainbow Glitter lamps. I believe I have pictures posted of the lamps here. I even purchased two gold grande bases so they look like the original smaller lamps. The amber color they emit is unlike any other lamp LavaLite ever created. They are by far my favorites and I did it over 5 years ago and they are still rocking like they did the day I created them. Just make sure to post your lamp here when finished. </p> I don't understand what you m…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2021-11-17:1566398:Comment:8530672021-11-17T09:57:29.562ZSven Nachthttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/SvenNacht
<p>I don't understand what you mean, as the final costs for an UK Import from Germany is only 1% more tax compared to before brexit. You can use a service like mygermany.com for the forwarding, so no min order quantity. They forward very cheap, price for forwarding is nearly the same compared to the standard shipping prices directly to uk.</p>

<p>Modern glitter lamps are not made with solvent based formulas. They are made with things like sodium nitrate or calcium chloride dissolved in water. These are relatively safe. Just don't eat or drink it or put it in your eyes and you will be fine. When you clean the bottle make sure to manually scrub the inside of the globe to remove any wax residue especially if the wax was sticking to the glass.
