<p></p>
<p>For Magma tower goo kit, let it run, the bubbles will eventually dissolve out</p>
<p>The viscosity is less than LL and allows the bubbles to dissipate</p>
<p></p>
<p>If you want a pure white, add liquid vanilla candle was dye. (before you add it to the globe)</p>
<p>Liquid wax is tricky and if not mixed thoroughly with the goo while in a transfer (pyrex) cup, , it will stick to the sides</p>
<p>You cannot just drop it in like Magma tower dye and wait for the results.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The "Ring" for a humungo/colossus a formed aluminum piece that fits inside the top of the base and is bent and formed supports the table.</p>
<p>For a grande, you will have to find a "found" piece or have one manufactured.<br/>I had a table made for my hunumgo out of tempered glass.</p>
<p>It costs @$60</p>

<p>If you can find a 100W daylight bulb use that, color is cooler think 6000k, more of a blue white, bright white and soft white bulbs more yellow. My two cents. Also looking for some pics of the table ring for you. Actually is a stainless steel stove top ring they use to hold the glass table on the base. Will look and post pics for you. Good luck with rest of project.</p>

Not done yet I still need to finish surfing it and plug the top, then moving onto electrical a heavy duty grounded cord with a HQ dimmer unit in the base. Don't forget the glass ring-table I will return to that glass shop and have a thick glass doughnut cut but I am still unsure how they stay balanced on the colossus is a mystery to my research. </p>

<p><strong>I ran it last night for the first time, definitely warms up faster then LavaLite magma does but certainly is not flowing like it yet. It was very clear which was awesome it left the bottom transparent and slowly turned white as it made its way to the top cooling off, and by the end of the cycle it had turned mostly white. The first few hours it just released air bubbles like crazy which were gone by the end of the cycle.</strong> </p>

<p></p>
<p><strong>I am really not crazy about the color when it is illuminated, it's not true white which is partially due to the color temperature of the incandescent bulb. Once it is molted the color lightens up and it becomes a brighter white but still...</strong></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>I am guessing I can go about correcting this one of two ways or both, add a SLIGHT bit of blue to the wax to compensate the yellow hue or use a heatproof bulb screen even paint a transparent blue on the globe bottom inside the base. They make bulb skins for par lamps in theaters and DJs</p>
<p></p>
<p>It really just did a constipated flow last night emitting half dollar sized balls of wax for a long time no big stretchies yet, and there appears to be many tiny tiny balls of wax from time to time when air bubbles release from the wax so do tiny dots of wax. </p>

<p>Now that mine has been cycled about 15 times it is much less transparent and less white...that is a piece of white computer paper taped to the wall; it is taking on the color of the light bulb (around 3600k). I am thinking about adding a pinch of the blue or aqua blue to compensate the light bulb, just a pinch a night until it is right...do you think this will work? It will appear a tad bit blue when off but white when running??</p>

<p>I am just going to send him my globe and the kit while I'm still alive, life has really taken some turns on me....but I will get some video of the glove for you all and more pictures. I really am not happy with the off-white when it is illuminated with that incandescent bulb and I have been really contemplating adding a splash of blue just enough to compensate the bulb when it is illuminated. </p>
