I Destroyed My Carlisle

Greetings!This is my first post and I thought I should introduce myself. I’m Robert and I live in San Francisco. I joined shortly after I destroyed one of my prized possessions- The Carlisle 300 lava lamp that my mom gave me in 1976. Ever hear that old expression “leave well alone”? Well- I didn’t leave well enough alone and tried to fix what wasn’t really broken. The liquid in said lamp had gotten a bit yellowish over the years (rightfully so)- but was still pretty clear and not cloudy. The…Continue

Hi,I just bought a very nice Amoeba in box and the light does not work. The instructions say the bulb isn't user replaceable. Has anyone tried to replace the bulb in an Amoeba! I can't believe they would make something that you can't replace the bulb in.   Thanks!Continue

Trying to find a better goo formulation

Started by BaBa-Gooey in General Goo. Last reply by BaBa-Gooey on Thursday. 14 Replies 3 Likes

I am in the process of experimenting with different waxes and additives, trying to find the perfect formulation to make my own goo for lava lamps.  I know I could buy formulated goo kits, but I like melting wax, coloring it, and making them on my own.  The "usual" way of paraffin and brakleen works ok for me, but about 30% of my lamps do not last more than a few weeks, before the wax starts separating and/or sticking to the sides.  Other lamps I made in January are still flowing perfectly.  I…Continue

Good Afternoon!At the end of the month I am heading to pick up a colossus from Ronzo in NH. I will have enough room to transport another lamp if someone on the east coast wants me to pick it up for them. I am willing to drive an extra two hours from my route to drop off the lamp if I am compensated. If anyone is interested, please let me know.Best,Rory Continue

Lamp Refill Problems

I bought this 2011 premier lamp for $15 thinking I could restore it. The liquid was cloudy, but it lava worked like normal. I followed the instructions of a youtube video. I drained the lamp, reserved all the lava. I refilled the lamp with distilled water and dissolved 1 tsp of plain epsom salt in the globe, then turned it on for 2 hours and let it heat up. I made a super saturated saline solution in a separate container and added it 1 tsp at a time an hour apart. My lava went from resting…Continue
