Oozing Goo - The Lava Lamp Syndicate

Got the idea to put some lighting gels into my wiz base, so the base would be illuminated with a color, instead of white. It looks a lot deeper and redder in person. :)

Carol, I've got a clear Hot Rocks (I think) glitter that I should try that on.  That thing is so bright it will hurt your eyes!

I'm going to try that tonight for Friday Flow :)

Another great experiment Keith!!!!!

Glad to know that works!  I've thought about something like that over the years but never tried it.  I think using a gel between the base and globe would work just fine with white wax/clear fluid.

checked tonight, no sign of any melting or damage to the gel  :)

Haze. thanks for mentioning the local music shops!!  I would have never thought of that.   I have a small ma and pop music store not far from me that i'll try to see if I can get them there.

Alex - Not the way I have done it.  If I look down, I can see some red on mine, but it does not color the globe in any way.

That being said, you could probably add a layer between the bulb and the globe that would do just that.

@alex

I dont see what it wouldn't work. Old Gemlites bottles used to have a film (I assume similar to this) that had 5 rows of color stuck on the bottom of the bottle. I assume it was glued to the bottle? but with what who knows.

Do you think if you attached it to the bottom of a white/clear globe it would color the lava?

yeah, the ones I got came in 9 inch squares.  I just cut them in half, and wrapped the inside of the base.  No tape, no glue, no nothing.  Had it on for 8 hours last night, I'll check to make sure they didn't melt when I get home from work tonight.
