<p>Seriously though, I hate cloudy lamps too.</p>
<p>Just used tap water and a litte sea salt in mine and it's remained crystal clear ever since. May be worth a try!</p>

<p>Yes- I know that Ethylene Glycol is the main ingredient in antifreeze and that it has also been used to adjust the specific gravity in lava lamps. I find that it works better than Proplylene for lamps with wax from 60s/70s. I've had pretty good luck so far. Again- just waiting to run these lamps for a month or so to see how they fair before trying this with my original Carlisle. let me know if you want to know more or have any questions. <br></br> <br></br> <cite>Claude J…</cite></p>

<p>Thanks Mark! I appreciate that and will give it a whirl. I've fixed a Century with dH2o, <span class="ILfuVd NA6bn"><span class="e24Kjd">ethylene glycol, and pure glycerin last week. So I'm going to see what happens to it after running it for a month or so before trying to do the same to my Carlisle. There's something about the ones that I used salt in that don't look as crystal clear....but I do like the way that they flow. Cheers!</span></span><br></br> <br></br> <cite>Mark…</cite></p>
