i'm guessing between 1-2 cups since it took about 1/2 cup to get my 52oz flowing.

Ok thats what i did . i made a highly saturated solution with distilled water and pickling salt . I know your hesitant to give an amount of salt but just a 'ballpark ' figure would help me a lot ! i mean 1 tsp or 1 cup or 5 cups ?

[Joanne]

WOW really ? that is a LOT ! I was thinking it would take a few tablespoons . ok Im not so freaked out now LOL . thank you

[Joanne]

OMG SHE JUST MOVED FINALLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!! yesssssssssssssss **HAPPY LAVA DANCE * It was just one big blop but it was movement !!!!!!!!! haha

[Joanne]

Ok heated the wax . added distilled water and surfactant, and crap loads of dissolved pickling salt . SEVERAL runs later and lots of tweaking with the fluid and she is running ! the Color is now NEON PINK! I am so thrilled !!!! ,

color is a little off in the pic . Neon pink and Egg yolk yellow grande's !!! love em both !!!

[Joanne]

hey Im amazed ! I thought the wax was going to be maroonish , but I never could have hoped for a neon !!!!!!! It seems that every lamp i have fixed so far has become another favorite!!!! THATS IT IM HOOKED lmao .!

Hello my name is Joanne and Im a lava lamp addict ....

[Brad]

excellent work!  glad you were able to get it flowing!

p.s. - you can use the backside of a spoon to push the dent out of the base.  use some pressure and move the spoon back and forth against the dent from the inside of the base.

[Joanne]

hehe you saw that huh  ? I hadnt gotten around to that yet but thanks for the "spoon' tip !!! :D
