I've always been fascinated with lava lamps, but only bought my first very recently from an online vender. Unfortunately, when it arrived, the clear fluid was not very clear...in fact, I would term it murky.
The vender has agreed to send me a replacement globe, but refused to send one like I ordered, because he said that it was too touchy and would likely arrive in the same condition as the one that I have, so I requested the red/clear globe, but am still waiting on it.
Since I will have both globes, I got to wondering about replacing the clear fluid, which is what brought me here. I have quickly scanned the page about making a lamp from scratch, but that didn't seem to answer the question of just fixing what I have. The question is whether the clear fluid of Lava brand lamps are all the same, and if so, exactly what is it...water, alcohol, mineral oil or?
The bubbles in the globs is less of a problem, but if there is an easy solution, I would like to hear it.
