I think many lamps re-cloud up because the wax has the original liquid embedded in it and it needs to work out of the wax. A couple runs with "test" liquid might clear the crap out of the wax prior to a final liquid restoration. Just my two cents.

Comment by Erin on March 7, 2013 at 10:01am: I'd like to get this information added to my thread here: http://oozinggoo.ning.com/forum/topics/lava-soup-replacing-the-liquid - since so many people attempt to replace the liquid and whatever you've done seems to work! :)

Would you mind putting the info in there? Or I can copy/paste it in there, too.

Comment by Erin on March 6, 2013 at 9:36pm: Thanks! I've restored the liquid in some older lamps, but not the new ones. I do want to get a blue/red, too.

Comment by Vince on March 6, 2013 at 9:34pm: Thanks Erin. This came about by chance when I was trying to make an adjustment on the Nightmare lamp you saw. I had wanted to just add epsom to that lamp so I could get the lava to sink, stay at the bottom so I could empty the liquid again and try to start over and get flow. What I ended up doing is what I did for this one. It worked.. For the surf, I just put a few drops in with some distilled water and swished it around the globe to coat the inner glass, then I dumped that. For the epsom, one teaspoon in about 1.5 oz of distilled water. The water was nuked so it was warm/hot so the epsom crystals could dissolve. The dishsoap was tricky-- I'd say I poured in about the equivalent of 20 drops. It was just a squeeze about 1/2 second long right into the lamp. Hope that helps you..

Poured in distilled. Then about 1.5 oz water with 1 tsp espom salt. A half second squirt of dishwash liquid. This worked on this one nicely. Another one I'm trying is not having the same results.
