"No your right, here's the report on the guy that ingested it: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8644972/"

"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…"

"nice lamp!"

"     Finished my simplest lava lamp, by using just wax, perc, liquid paraffin and resin die, as it was my main goal. I like to work with mass because it is invariant like volume, and below there's my recipe (in percentages of…"

"Holy wowzers! I’ve had a hypothesis that oil based paints may be helpful in coloring/solidifying goo. Dang! Now I’m going to try this.  Looks great! "

"@Jsmooth, this is a very, very early formula and wasn't nearly as opaque as what it looks like in the picture.In my newer formulations, I use a tiny dab of white oil based paint, the kind artists get in tubes.  Works wonders"

"That’s wonderful! How did you achieve the opacity of the wax? "

"Man such luck maybe some will come my way, just awesome. Thanx a bunch."
