The lava-lamp wax sinks on cooling, so the surrounding liquid must have a density a little less than 0.9. Ordinary alcohol (ethanol) has a density of about 0.8, and a 40-50 per cent aqueous solution would have a density that could be adjusted to just below that of paraffin wax. The solid wax would then sink.
