Either combination should work fine. You can also give me the glass and I'll do the experimentation for you. I think it would make a very nice addition to my collection. Have it and good luck. Don't forget to post photos here once you've done the swap. </p>

<p>I see no reason why this should not work. Find yourself a lavalite globe with liquid and wax of your choice and swap it into this lamp coil and all. Glass container would also make an amazing glitter lamp. Now you have two choices. Either combination should work fine. You can also give me the glass and I'll do the experimentation for you. I think it would make a very nice addition to my collection. Have it and good luck. Don't forget to post photos here once you've done the swap. </p>
