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

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.
