<p>Autumn excellent determinations for glitter.</p>
<p>What did you write the formula for ethyl 6-bromohexanoate? This chemical is very dangerous: Carcinogenic and flammable. I think it is very dangerous to work with it.</p>

<p>I recently worked on some glitter lamp formulas focusing on perchloroethylene as well. What I ran into was over time the glitter began to stick together. My recipe was 75% perchloroethylene 25% mineral spirits (stoddard solvent). My assumption is at higher temperatures the polyester glitter starts to dissolve. I thought maybe somehow they may have been sticking together because of static electricity. Do you think the polarity of the liquids and my glitter was building up a static charge…</p>
<p>I recently worked on some glitter lamp formulas focusing on perchloroethylene as well. What I ran into was over time the glitter began to stick together. My recipe was 75% perchloroethylene 25% mineral spirits (stoddard solvent). My assumption is at higher temperatures the polyester glitter starts to dissolve. I thought maybe somehow they may have been sticking together because of static electricity. Do you think the polarity of the liquids and my glitter was building up a static charge causing them to stick together? Not knowing anything about chemistry I had no idea that this could actually happen.</p>
<p></p>
<p>After a real quick reading on polarity I guess since the oxygen atoms are not symmetrical the mineral spirits could have created a static charge making the glitter stick together and maybe it wasn't dissolving like I had thought?</p>

<p>I ended up giving up my research on these because I couldn't adequately exhaust the fumes and made myself sick a couple of times so I wasn't able to keep experimenting.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I also discovered that it is best to have the glitter floating on top when the lamp is off because when it heats up the density reduces due to fluid expansion. Kind of the opposite effect of a lava lamp which was an interesting realization. Make it too light and after about half an hour all of the glitter sinks to the bottom.</p>

<p>Tips found as a result of trials:</p>
<ol>
<li>Density should be readjusted at operating temperature. Because with the increase in temperature, the density of the liquid decreases due to the expansion. The glitter will collapse.</li>
<li>The density of the liquid should be slightly higher than the density of the glitter. Glitter should float lightly. In this way, the light from the base provides better brightness.</li>
