(Lava Chat)

Need someone to try an experiment for me. May have found a cure for bubbly wax

So I was talking with da9l and he asked me about bubbly lamps. After some talking I did some googling and figured out stuff like dish detergent will increase surface tension. Since adding salt decreases surface tension and causes lamps to go bubbly, maybe detergent can remove the bubbles?

Anyone wanna give it a shot? I dont have the time or money to try it myself right now.

Hi, everyone. I totally agree with you Tim on all subject you put forward, because I own two fog making machines with fluidjuice as you put it and the chilling of the of the fog through a chamber directly connected to the fog machine which gives you low lying fog that behaves in the same manner in those old vampire movies. Second the PG solution looks like it would be avery good additive for lamp formula. I came across a site selling different chemicals which I believe came from this club's site and PG with different specific gravity ranging from solid to liquid and guess what two PG that came in fluid form had a specific gravity of 1.000 to 1.5000, isn't that close to what is generally use by alchemist members of this site. Various combos would of these two liquids yield untold specific gravities.And from what has been documented about PG all the info points towards a excellent ingredient for lamp construction. It's also very popular for those trying to prevent checking, cracking of precious exotic lumbers for use by various woodworkers. I'm rambling so I'll say good day for today.
