Cloudy liquid: Any solutions, or should I try replacing the liquid?

[Rampaging Chipmunk]

I ordered a 14 inch red liquid/white wax lamp and a 17 inch Clearview clear liquid/pink wax lamp from Spencer's and they both have cloudy liquid. Is there a good way to clear it up, or should I try replacing the liquid, and if so, how do I go about doing said replacing?

These are chinese made lamps, and from my experience don't clear up on their own from running like the USA made ones often do. I would see about exchanging them, and if not, water, fog machine fluid and a little bit of miracle bubbles seems to work as a replacement fluid.

Hmm. Okay. I figured as much. I'll probably keep the red one because it looks pretty good despite the cloudiness, but the Clearview is unworkable. I'm just annoyed about it because I bought these online because my local Spencer's did not have them, so getting a replacement is going to require ordering off the Web again.

You can dump and refill. I've done it with a 14" China made lamp and a few lamps from the 60s. Here are my notes: http://oozinggoo.ning.com/forum/topics/lava-soup-replacing-the-liquid

How did you color the liquid?

McCormick food dye. However, the yellow seems to fade pretty easily.
