1990 Lava Fluid

[GrooEv]

Hello Oozing Goo!

I bought this 1990 Midnight screw top a few days ago. 

Unfortunately, when I brought it home, I noticed it was leaking from the top when tilted slightly.   

Also the coil is in really bad shape.  So I would like to give a go at dyeing the liquid and wax.

I have concerns on the toxicity of the fluid.  Even after trying to dry off the globe a few days ago, it still looks wet today.  I'm a little worried about getting it on my skin, or breathing it.  Does anyone know what the fluid was like in 1990?

Thank you!

You're fine as long as you don't drink it. Its pretty harmless.
