Catalytic Scent Lampe Fuel image

I'm addicted to my catalytic scent lamp, and have several brands of lamps, including the famous berger brand lampe. The fuel is expensive to buy, and I deceided to make my own. I use this instead of store bought fuel, but I'll admit it doesn't burn as cleanly.

Time 5m

Yield 12 oz

Number Of Ingredients 2

12 ounces rubbing alcohol (90% isopropyl-alcohol)
1/2 teaspoon scented oil (essential oil)

Steps:

  • IMPORTANT: You must use a 90% strength isopropyl, or rubbing, alcohol. The 70% isopropyl alcohol contains too much water in the solution, and will not burn. You can find the 90% strength at drugstores on the same shelf next to the 70% solution.
  • ALSO: Use the best undiluted quality oil as you can -- to check for purity, place one drop on a sheet of clean paper. The drop should completey evaporate if the essential oil is pure. If it leaves a greasy, oily spot, select another oil.
  • CONVERSION NOTE: I measure my essential oils in ML, not OZ or other units. 1/2 teaspoon equals approximately 2ML.
  • Open a 12oz bottle of 90% isopropyl alcohol.
  • Add the essential oil.
  • Screw the cap back on. Shake to mix, and you're done!
