<p>have to confess this monster is running on di-ionised water and some sugar melted with water , been running for 3 weeks and not clouded yet, i had previously added couple drops of washing up liquid and after a few days started clouding, Ive used the melted sugar thickner for donkey years if a lamp isnt flowing well as in slow movement, i tend to put couple of tablespoons of sugar in a glass then pour a tiny amount of water just enough to cover the sugar and zap in the microwave to bubble…</p>

<p>It might be the reason why my water gets cloudy. I will try to obtain the chemical You specified and use it in new solution. If it wouldn't help, I will go on with dumping goo and clearing bottle. Thanks again!</p>

<p>This is probably the best, most succinct, instruction for making new master fluid that I have seen. It is what I have done before with some additional tips that I hadn't thought about. Just to note, I use sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) instead of sodium laureth sulfate (SLES). I don't know what actual difference it makes if any, both are common surfactants used in soap making. <br></br> <br></br> <cite>Claude J said:…</cite></p>

<p>Surf? Which surf do You suggest? I mean certain chemical substance, because it may not be available as commercial named product here in European market.</p>

<p>only thing i can suggest is put it in a water bath 1/2 full, turn up the heat to medium, and let it get much hotter than 125Deg until everything floats and hope the contaminants ozze out of the lava, then refill with surf (not dish soap) and distilled water with propylene this time, </p>
<p>If you have a sticking problem, after you overheat it, You might want to try removing the goo and cleaning the bottle well, and follow the directions I gave you above</p>

<p>But think about this another way - if its really goos fault, the clouding of lamp should gradually decrease until all contamination become dissolved in water. But water seems to be cloudy at the same level every time...</p>
<p>Lamp flows really good, and that's why I don't want to take a risk of messing it up more.</p>
