<p>I'm wondering what would happen if I added white? Would it make it opaque and lighten it or just make it opaque? And can I use hobby store candle wax dye or do I need MT's special formula?</p>
<p></p>
<p>While the color is not what I had in mind, I still like it. My son says it looks like blood.</p>
<p></p>
<p>With the bulb at full brightness, it starts up as fast as a 14in lamp, but goes into over heat mode after just a few hours, so I've had to dim the bulb.</p>

<p>Got my goo kit in yesterday, and rebuilt my Aristocrat today. I decided to make it clear liquid with purple wax. I ordered Red and Blue dies and figured I'd just mix Red and Blue to make Purple. Well, it is purple, but it is more of a wine/grape jelly purple, I think I used too much red and I am a bit afraid to add more blue because I think it will be too dark and look black. It's not the color I was planning, but it looks nice. …</p>

I think the one that is in there is a 40 or 45watt bulb, it's whatever it came with and the printing has rubbed off, I've never had to change it. But the MagmaTower goo is designed to operate cooler than the original. So I've got a dimmer that I use on a new lamp that has a tendency to over heat and just float all the wax to the top. I found that dimming by about 5% makes it just right. It does take longer to start up though.</p>
