Keith replied to Peter Piper's discussion Replacing cloudy fluid with glitter liquid"Perchlorate is what you need, but it may mess up the glitter and fluid. It will make the wax heavier (or more dense) though. It can be found in brakekleen, but only the red can. Not sure where all you can find it but here is a…"

Peter Piper posted a blog postAll that Glitters is Gold
Seems to me like the popular gold bases with the holes should of been glittered. It didn't take long to paint, partlly because the Rust-Oleum spray nozzle stopped working after half the can maybe less. But it was good enough and looked great after a couple coats of clear coat.II sealed the bottom of the lid with poster putty…See More
Peter Piper replied to Peter Piper's discussion calling all customizers"The glitter gold looks just as good as I hoped. with a couple coats of clear coat on it too. use a bead reamer for the holes if you paint your aristocrat"
Peter Piper replied to Nolan Guess's discussion Homemade glitter lamp."what recipe are you using?
Have you tried to find a paper cutter from garage sales or craigslist or an school closing auction? that would probably get the job done quick and consistent size"

I found a couple lava lamps at a goodwill one is smaller with cloudy clear liquid and navy blue lava on a brushed silver base. the one I'm planning on fixing up is a midnight from 1999.
When checking the liquid out in the parking lot, it looked like it barely had a tint of the old mason jars that are blueish green. but it was practically clear. the lava is white. when I had the chance I switched my two globes and it now has the blue/purple globe…
