"The wax de-bubbler we offer on our website adjusts the PH of the fluid It is a super-strength commercial vinegar (with warning labels)I've yet to have it dissolve the SURFactant, however, we use a top-end SURF called SLES with a high cloud point"

1. Is the base rare? It seems to have a more stretched out appearance compared to other aristocrats that I've seen on the web.

2. The master fluid is really clear when it's cold and then as it warms up, it gets pretty cloudy. I've only ran this lamp about four times since I got it out of the shipping…
