Peter Piper posted a discussionBest way to get my lava out of the globe

Peter Piper replied to Peter Piper's discussion Replacing cloudy fluid with glitter liquid"I should mention, keith is right. the glitter and lava will not work together.

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…
