Restored Hunters Flowing

Video of my recently restored Hunter lamps flowing. I tried my best to salvage the oil in as many of the Sata-Lites as I could. I refilled the rest with fast moving glitter strands that match original Sparkle-Lite glitter perfectly. I'd challenge anyone to spot the refills, even compared side-by-side with originals!

The original fluid was ever so slightly cloudy, but not enough to bin, so simply topped it up with a little tetrachloroethylen, and replaced the original flakes (turned translucent) with shredded glitter cut down even further, i.e., into little squares :)

The picture doesn't do it justice. It looks really nice, and next to an original you wouldn't know the difference from a short distance away. On closer inspection it's really just the fact that the flakes aren't uniform in size, as I cut them by hand and wasn't overly concerned about being too precise with this one!

A Hunter refilled from scratch.

The strands ar a lot chunkier than the original, but it looks pretty unique and will flow beautifully for hours.

Looks quite nice with a coloured bulb fitted too.

Thanks again for all of your advice Eliot!
