<p>So-I suck at math.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I just emptied and cleaned the glass-it only holds 2 cups of water. The goo kit includes enough to refurbish a 250 OZ lamp. </p>
<p>20% goo to water ratio.</p>
<p>If my lamp holds 2 cups that is 16 oz so this means I add 1/4 cup of goo to 3 cups water right?</p>
<p>Duh. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Thanks!</p> New China-made 52oz lamp from Lavaworld won't flow - HELP!!!tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2008-12-13:1566398:Topic:646392008-12-13T00:50:05.589ZMarkhttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/Mark86
I purchased this 52oz red/clear lamp from a retailer, and it has never worked properly. For one thing, it came with a clear bulb that seemed to overheat it - even though I know the office where it was set up was kept at a steady 70 degrees - no direct sunlight, either. Then the lava began just sitting in the bottom of the globe, and not moving. It looked also like it was NOT adhering fully to the coil. I switched the bulb to a 40watt frosted, and it made no difference. The coil is clearly a…
I purchased this 52oz red/clear lamp from a retailer, and it has never worked properly. For one thing, it came with a clear bulb that seemed to overheat it - even though I know the office where it was set up was kept at a steady 70 degrees - no direct sunlight, either. Then the lava began just sitting in the bottom of the globe, and not moving. It looked also like it was NOT adhering fully to the coil. I switched the bulb to a 40watt frosted, and it made no difference. The coil is clearly a cheap smaller-size coil typical of the China-made lamps, from what I have read here.<br />

I contacted Lava Lite company directly, and to their credit, they shipped out a brand-new lamp the next day. It seems to work OK, except that it too, has a small coil, and would probably benefit flow-wise from having the coil stretched to fill the base of the bottle. Also - I was dismayed to find that the new lamp had a small scratch in the brushed metal finish near the very bottom of the base. I thanked Julie for her prompt service, but also sent her some photos from this site regarding the small coils and general rants about poor quality control contained here, along with these photos. I have not as yet received a response.<br />

Can anyone give me advice on this/ reasons for why this globe doesn't work/ suggestions? Thanks in advance...
