Uhh, I sort of took things from a few. I didn't really accurately measure anything. I just used paraffin wax with a small amount of petroleum jelly, then added the tetrachloroethylene till the lava solution would sink if dropped in water. I used polyethylene glycol(PEG) and canning salt to adjust the density of the water. Next time I'm using all PEG(I only used some salt last time because I ran out of PEG). You can get PEG in the pharmacy section of some stores. Glycerol(glycerine) is also available at drug stores and can be used instead of PEG.

Thanks, I'm still scrounging around for nice bottles. I need to make a colored one.
