<p>This is what i bought and i used on 3 of my lamps. Works perfectly.. Just premix with the liquid your using so it isnt concentrated on the wax from you pouring it on. Claudejs soap i used it and if you pour it on the wax it eats it up like battery acid unless you premix it in water. I also had to redo a grande like 3 times using that dollar stuff it kept eating the wax and making them cloud after a day or two.. so i dunno maybe i used it wrong but it didnt work for me</p>
<p></p>
<p>But this stuff is Pure SLS no other ingredients. Works great for my 3 grandes i did.. I used exactly 50ml of it then mixed it with 1 gallon of distilled water poured it in the lamp and then poured a half gallon of distilled water in that container to mix it with whatever bubbles are in there and fill the lamp fully and make sure you get as much of the bubbles in the lamp as you can..</p>
<p></p>
<p>And this is how it flows with 50ml of pure sls.. no fragrance no glycerine, no radiator fluid (yes shampoos and soaps can use ethelyne glycol lol). Its much easier to measure this then using a powder form of SLS as well, its just a tad expensive for 250ml at 10$. But tbh 10$ is nothing and i like it being in liquid form</p>

<p>I got the clear store brand hand soap from CVS I think I put two teaspoons or was it two full pumps into my 52oz lamp. It seem to flow very well and still crystal clear for almost two months. I followed pretty much every thing Claude took me to do to the letter. </p>

<p>I used blue Dawn in my Aristocrat and it made the flow really stringy. Baby shampoo made the flow more blobby. A mixture of both made the absolute perfect flow for me. I haven't tried it on any newer lamps so idk if the formula being different will change how this works. </p>

<p>If thsi is the older lamp, then yes, you need a floatation /specific gravity adjuster</p>
<p>They DO NOT work on distilled water alone</p>
<p>Pickling salt might leach the color</p>

<p>Epson salt (Magnesium sulfate) is 1.99 a 1 lb bag</p>
<p>heat water in a pan, add Epson salt, stir until dissolved, pour thru a coffee filter placed in a funnel to filter into a clean container</p>
<p>use that as our adjustment fluid</p>

<p>I find that comment interesting as this is a 2011 lava lamp that I scored for 10 on letgo. All my newer lamps just require lava, water and surf. This could be slightly different lava.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I am going to try this. Tomorrow I am going to redo with fresh distilled water, the other soap. If after 4 to 5 hours it just domes, I am going to slowly add some pickling salt as I don't have those other chemicals and def not buying them for a cheapo letgo lamp.</p>

<p>I wanted to experiement with this lamp to see if mccormiks coloring works with the distilled water and lava as I advised when used with lava lamp liquid, my lamps crapped out and didn't work right after the coloring was added.

<p>the reason it is not floating is probably not the amount of surf.</p>
<p>Its the buoyancy (specific gravity) of the fluid</p>
<p>Add some filtered magnesium sulfate or straight Propylene glycol solution</p>
