"Excellent! Thanks again Tev! Really enjoy your posts. "

"Hi Zach, I used a 12 volt 35 watt halogen bulb. Here are the pictures. I used surfactant SLES. I prepared 25% SLES and added 1ml."

"Hey Tev! A couple more questions sir. How much surf were you using in this picture and what wattage bulb? Was the bulb being ran with no dimmer? Thanks! "

"Oh ok! Makes sense! Thank you! "

"Hi Zach, wax does not harden completely. If we do this with chlorinated paraffin instead of wax. It will be harder as we won't be using it in Perc. Less liquid material, harder wax."

"Hi Tevfik! Quick question, just want to make sure I’m understanding, the lamp on the left is made with 25g microcrystalline, 35g liquid paraffin, 4g kerosene and 1.5 dye? I’ve tried that and my wax won’t seem to harden. It just…"

"synthetic thinner instead of kerosene in my works. Then the beautiful column is formed. What did you use for a kerosene substitute???"

"how did you make your lamp structure thats what part im up to i think i need a lesson in eletrics..thnks"

"Hi Dmytro, I've never used ceresin. It looks like white beeswax. The melting point is appropriate. You can try."

"Hi, Tevfik Dogruman. Thanks for your answer. I will try to melt the chlorinated paraffin and microcrystalline wax first, and then add the kerosene/synthetic thinne. Do you know if it is ok to use ceresin instead of microcrystalline wax?"

"Hi Dmytro Lapchuk First, I melt the solid ones and mix them. Then I add the liquid ones. The thing to note here: The boiling point of liquid substances must be higher than the temperature of the melted wax.I think the wattage of the bulb is too…"

"I am using the original 16 inch Chinese lamp base and bulb. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRdiYfRhaAZNQTHmS97sWlGSRw2-u09pDL0Jg&usqp=CAU Approximately 0.5 liters35 wattsIt seems to me that I somehow mixed the ingredients…"

"How many liters of lamp are you making? How many watt bulbs did you use? Wax density is adjusted by mixing chlorinated paraffin and microcrystalline paraffin at a certain rate. Kerosene or synthetic thinner provides fluidity. The density of their…"

"I tried to do according to this formula. The consistency turned out to be similar. But I have a problem: when heated, bubbles of air (or other gas) rise from the formed paraffin, as a result, my bulb explodes. Situation was the same with kerosene or…"
