FINALLY got my 74 clear/red century working!

And it even spikes! I have never, ever seen this lamp run so well, nor seen it this clear for more than 1 run. I've tried to restore this lamp 4 times. The first few times never worked at all. When I finally got it to flow again, it didn't spike at all, got full of bubbles, and the water got cloudy again after only 3-4 runs, THIS time I used fog fluid from the party store (not the stuff from Walmart) with a little added pure glycerine, and a tiny drop of clear dish soap. For so long now, I have wanted this lamp to run right. I have NEVER seen it look so good! I'm stoked!

Comment by Marley's Ghost on October 24, 2013 at 9:01pm: Very nice, Loren!

Comment by Loren on October 24, 2013 at 8:59pm: Again, I used very little water. If This were just about any other lavalite, it would not take NEARLY that much fog fluid, and probably zero glycerin. It might not even need any clear dish soap, but if it does, stay away from dawn clear dish soap! Go with palmolive pure, or ivory clear soap.

Comment by Joanne on October 24, 2013 at 8:06pm: Okie dokie i have the Glycerine . I wonder if that combination would work for the Grande i just emptied . do you think it would effect the wax to the point it would be useless if it didnt work ? what ratio glycerine do you think you used to juice ?

Comment by Loren on October 24, 2013 at 8:00pm: Ok, here are the things I used:

And here is a closrup of the label on the fog fluid:

Comment by Joanne on October 24, 2013 at 7:57pm: whoa cool !

Comment by Loren on October 24, 2013 at 7:51pm: I did not add any water, except a tiny bit to mix with the surfactant. It's all fog juice, and pure glycerine. I will take some pictures and post them in a few minutes. :)

Comment by Joanne on October 24, 2013 at 7:46pm: ok you said "PURE " fog solution and "pure " glycerine . those you put in with your distilled water correct ? can you post a photo of the 'fog juice ' container and ingredients label so i can find it somewhere ?
