DIY Glitter lamp question

Started by Mark Golebiowski in Problems & Questions 18 hours ago. 0 Replies 0 Likes

I’m planning on making a glitter lamp. From what I understand Calcium Chloride makes a slow lamp and Calcium Nitrate makes a fast lamp. Is that correct? Not sure if I should bother with Calcium Chloride ( it’s easy for me to get) before I invest in Calcium Nitrate. Continue

Anyone have a '90s Orange White #05 or Red/Yellow #02 for sale?

Hello everyone.  I hope you are all doing well.  It has been quite some time (years) since I have posted on this site, but my lava obsession is back lol.  Unfortunately, I sold off my entire collection about 3 years ago.  I am looking for a #05 '90s orange white globe or #02 red/yellow.  Ideally, both globes would be from 1994-1996.  I am assuming due to inflation, lamp prices on ebay have skyrocketed.  Some of these lamps are priced at around $200.  Please excuse my ignorance if that is the…Continue

I'm making a YouTube channel for all my projects and build voicovers. Mostly my custom designed concrete lava lamps (all open source), but also anything else that would befit a supervillian lair. Supersized board games, mid-century designs for lighting and furniture, 3D printing / laser cutting projects, and more weird lava stuff. You'll likely also see my two cats (Siegfried & Roy) often.Current schedule is to launch before the end of next year with a few build videos. I will still be…Continue

Looking for a source of glitter

Started by Adrian in Buy/Sell/Trade Zone. Last reply by Mark Golebiowski on Saturday. 4 Replies 0 Likes

Hello, I am looking for a source of glitter, preferably 10*10 mm silver squares. It needs to be resistant to a calcium nitrate solution or maybe even also perchloroethylene.Holographic would also be nice, even though I think I have some 5mm tinsel curtain that actually works. My 10*10 mylar confetti seems to look worse after getting into my nitrate solution, but not eaten away yet (it's been a few weeks). It's also maybe a little too transparent.I'm based in Denmark, EU.Continue

I’ve never seen a Crestworth lamp box (Astro Mini) of any kind on tv before and may never see one again so I’m glad I took a snap of one recently seen on tv here in the U.K. The program was about an auction house set up in Yorkshire northern England. They do house clearances and auctions.Continue

2nd Nov new lamp launch

A completely new lamp is being launched on the 2nd Nov. Can't link the picture sorry. Won't let me.But looks die cast, and possibly looking at the curvature it might be taking an astro bottle. And first 100 out the window. Now a lottery of all the orders placed on the same day. Seems irrelevant to still call it first 100 when it isn't. What are your thoughts on what it might be? Continue

I finally snagged a #21

Started by MacRanium in Collecting. Last reply by MacRanium Nov 30. 3 Replies 0 Likes

I stumbled across one of my bucket list globes on Facebook marketplace a #21 red wax purple liquid silver streak edition. Got it for an amazing price from a nice old hippy lady in the older part of town. The spring is broken and sticks up a bit but it flows fine and the wax shrouds the spring so when it's fully flowing you don't see it, I plan on fixing it this weekend but otherwise super happy to have this color combo it's one of my favorites Continue
