Yeah, it should be avoided if possible. I make my own lava lamps (4 so far) and only in the latest one I learned how to make a "saltless" one, but I had to devise a method to control over the goo's density rather than the liquid's.<br />
<br />
You could try a water/prop glycol solution hoping that the goo's density is between 1.00 and 1.10 (that's the range of adjustment allowed), or run the lamp with an open cap and let some of its perc to leech out (you can add more perc later as needed) or put more…
