@Astralav, Exactly. I think a lot of vintage fast glitters lose their silvering on the glitter from being run too hot, not from the solvent itself as I used to believe.

So it's like you're using 15w?

It's perfect for fast glitter like living jewel.

hot enough to run fast without generate too much heat to destroy mirror plating on plastic flakes

@Astralav, It has a 25 watt UK 220v bulb, so it's a lot less bright on 120v U.S. current and it's the fast glitter. The little heat it gets doesn't even make the base warm but is enough to really get the glitter going.

What's the bulb wattage?
So your's is a fast glitter one?
I think they also also made slow glitter with same tinsel strand.
I got one which arrived broken, and I picked up the glitters one by one to make it works with propylene Glycol (slow glitter)

Nice, very nice! Mine has the silver gone off the glitter, sadly. I think I like the base you have better; mine has a slightly similar base and cap, but less flowy. Still has that orange liquid, though; best color with copper, I think!
