Problem Fluidium

[Margui Philippe]

Hello to you all! 

I may be a small problem, and perhaps you could help me. 
I bought Mathmos Lava Lamps 3-Fluidium Used: 2 opals, and 1 Orange. 
But the liquid inside was all disorders. I bought 3 bottles of replacements 
Mathmos directly at: 1 Green and 2 Yellow. The translucent liquid of green was intended 
for the orange bottle, and the other 2 yellow, 2 for opals. Once unscrewed the 
plugs, I met the boards one by one with the chosen liquid by passing it through a 
coffee filter clean of course! 
My lights work 6 hours per day. Mathmos lamps with 40W as planned. 
But here's the problem: Wax seeks to shape up but no bubble, no column. A 
part one of two opals that tends to want to do. 1 / 2 hours before lights out 
lamps, wax came almost mounted on top of the bottle. While the other opal 
and the Orange as a nice bump, but does not rise. The wax flows in itself a sign 
the wax is hot. House temperature 23 degrees Celsius. Why does it react 
like this?? Should I wait for a break-in period?? Problem of density?? Thank you for your
answers! 
(I performed the same experiment for uner Fluidium green and works without problems!)

What you can try is getting propylene glycol from the vets and add alittle to them....try one bottle first before you do all three at the same time, make sure both fluids are cold (and the same temperature) as it clouds otherwise and work with steps of 5 - 10ml. if you put the glycol in you will see the traces of the glycol in the masterfluid but once mixed its as before. it worked on quite a few lamps of mine. good luck!

Hello. Thank you all for your advice. 

Fortunately, I kept the old fluid. I just swapped in old bottles 
and recent. I plan to buy the pump MSR MiniWorks 0.2 microns as I could see on the forum 
in time may very. Phew! In France in selling. 
If not then I leave the fluids as shown until the pump? 
And with this pump MiniWorks MSR, would I have an impeccable quality of the liquid after 
filtered? Fluids will clear? 
Again thank you for your advice. In the coming days, I would try to put the photo 
my lamps on the site. Although this is still roughly the same;)
