trying to make a lava head like this.do I need a coil? are there any instructions on how to make a coil?I ordered the goo from magma tower..does it contain mercury?also, how to make sure it does not leak? I am following a previous thread about lava heads which gives a vague idea on how to make them.... I bought the high heat silicone sealant and am looking for a casserole dish to seal the head closed... then I am planning to use an upside down pyrex measuring cup as the base so that the cord…Continue
adding surfucant ( magma tower goo kit )
Started by char in Problems & Questions. Last reply by Claude J 9 hours ago. 1 Reply 0 Likes
Hey, I just got a magma tower mini goo kit to build my own lava head like in my profile picture. I'm reading that the surfacant is used to make the goo more blobby and circular. But actually I really like when the goo gets all sinewy. I read online that the recommended ratio for surfacant is 10ml surfacant: 1 quart water - is that correct?So my question is, if I like the goo non-blobby, do I need to add any surfacant at all? If I add none will something bad happen? Should I add just a little?…Continue
Fuse problem on Midnight 8304 lamp?
Started by Daniel Kirkdorffer in Problems & Questions. Last reply by Keith 12 hours ago. 3 Replies 0 Likes
The bulb burnt out on my LAVA LITE Midnight Blue/White 8304 lamp - so I replaced it, but the lamp doesn't work. I've verified the new bulbs I've tried are working, so it appears to be a fuse in the lamp that's the problem. Thing is I cannot figure out where the fuse might be?Suggestions?DanContinue

I'm guessing a lot of you folks are checking the thrift stores, flea markets, yard sales etc. for lava lamps. sometimes I get lucky. Tell me about your favorite finds.in the last week or so I've been looking for anything wild. I found an infinity mirror light in a hard to reach/see area of a good thrift store in amish country. The bulbs were burned out, and I found some 7v mini bulbs today. It looks great, maybe from the 60s-80s.and yesterday I met someone from the letgo app. and picked up…Continue
Grande cap nightmare!
Started by ash-hole! in Collecting. Last reply by Keith on Sunday. 14 Replies 0 Likes
So I have been busting my butt the last couple days trying to get this paint off this grande globe... And I finally finished and was setting up every to switch out the goo. I got the metal cap off and the plug is literally disintegrating... When I lightly lift it, it just rips. I don't even know how I'm going to get it off globe. What now!? I've seen other ideas for caps but several said they can't fit the decorative cap on top afterward. With as much work as I have put into this lamp, I would…Continue

In the last couple of years I have acquired three of these lamps, on auctions and on Amazon UK when on sale. So the three of them together have barely reached the £30 mark. I have to say. I am really impressed with these. Good flow and a good time before over heating.I own two of the 'Torpedo' Lamps (one red and clear, and one blue and clear) one of the 'Twist' lamps, (clear and blue) I have even witnessed the Twist lamp almost Snake on occasion.I am posting because they were everywhere at one…Continue

This is my first try at sun fading a lamp, I couldn't believe how fast the blue faded. just took about four hours in the sun. The bottle was a white/blue bottle from 1994 that I had found at my local thrift store. You can't tell from the photo,…

Seems to me like the popular gold bases with the holes should of been glittered. It didn't take long to paint, partlly because the Rust-Oleum spray nozzle stopped working after half the can maybe less. But it was good enough and looked great…
