Best option for topping off liquid in a 1970s globe?

[Erin]

I have a 52oz. globe from the 70s and the liquid level is low. I've replaced liquid in 60's globes, but never topped off a 70s globe. Do I need to top off with liquid from another 70s lamp or can I add some distilled water?

Thoughts?

Erin, what do you do about those little tiny "blobs" floating around in there?  Just leave them?  I have a clear/green Wizard that has those in it and never melt back into the lava even when it cools.

All of mine melt back into the wax when I turn it off. I think this lamp needs to be run a bunch more though.

distilled water

Hmmmm, I've run the hound out of this one and they never melt.  I'll keep on truckin with it.  Thanks, Erin!  :)

Really? Will that be OK? Would reverse osmosis water work, too?
