<p>OK, I'll try some propylene glycol instead (goes off mumbling about more chemicals and more expense......!!!)</p>

<p>Another unsuccessful day in the chemistry lab. Since the previous slow glitter formula (de-ionised water plus polyethylene glycol) was too 'thin' and not strong enough to lift anything, I decided to try the above again but with the addition of glycerine. This was a total fail. No movement. At least with the first go there was movement albeit very weak. But in the second trial the glycerine just sat at the bottom of the bottle and obstructed flow.

This was a total fail. No movement. At least with the first go there was movement albeit very weak. But in the second trial the glycerine just sat at the bottom of the bottle and obstructed flow. First go was 233.333 ml of polyethylene glycol to 466.666 of de-ionised water to make up the 700ml astro baby bottle volume. Second attempt was 200ml of polyethylene glycol, plus 400 ml of de-ionised water plus 100 ml glycerine to thicken it up. But no. Pants. Nothing.

<p>I'm afraid I couldn't be precise with the amount of purple food colouring - all my food colourings are a paste, not a liquid. So I just kept adding small scoops with the handle end of a tea spoon and swirling. The colouring didn't want to blend much with a cold glitter lamp, I had to switch it on and add more once the glycerin mix has warmed up then it blended better.</p>

<p>My delivery of 14 lava lamps arrived yesterday afternoon! Any fluid that was cloudy has been removed; any wax not savable has been discarded. There are bottles drying all along the radiator in the kitchen! And the process has begun to restore or rebuild the vast majority! Three astro babies are in tact, the clear fluid glitter baby was perfect and I have dyed it purple - it looks like Ribena!!! See below pic!

<p>My delivery of 14 lava lamps arrived yesterday afternoon! Any fluid that was cloudy has been removed; any wax not savable has been discarded. There are bottles drying all along the radiator in the kitchen! And the process has begun to restore or rebuild the vast majority! Three astro babies are in tact, the clear fluid glitter baby was perfect and I have dyed it purple - it looks like Ribena!!! See below pic! And the purple helter skelter water lamp is purring away next to me! Everything else needs work. The jets needed a minimum of master fluid change; they've been working for 6 hours to iron out any problems. Two jets are sorted - see third pic. I may dye the masterfluid......we'll see!</p>
