Hello I'm new to this site member wise but I've been in and out of it multiple times as I love the older lava lamps and how they run and flow. I'm currently in the process of looking for a 52oz globe of the blue liquid that goes to the green wax out of the coachlite lava lamp collection. I will attach photos of what mine currently looks like and I'll also attache the color im looking for. They are screw on caps so I have a decent globe just the cap busted because I had a good friend go get it…Continue

Started by Keith in General Goo 10 hours ago. 0 Replies 0 Likes
So I came across this factoid and thought I would share and extrapolate. Based doubling the time in the attached graphic it costs about ten dollars per year to run a lava lamp daily. So that's something you can share with whoever may be concerned about wasted energy.Here's the information from the GE Reveal bulb.Lighting Facts Per BulbBrightness320 lumensEstimated…Continue

So-I suck at math.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. 20% goo to water ratio.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?Duh. Thanks!Continue
Trying to crack the original formula- why was kerosene used?
Started by Ant Bee in General Goo. Last reply by Autumn 14 hours ago. 134 Replies 4 Likes
In my quest to figure out exactly what the original formula is, one thing I haven't figured out is why they used Kerosene in the mixture. It seems like it was a very small part of the mixture, something like 7% by volume.But what was the point? Did it act as a preservative, or enhance the flow, or help to bind everything together?Speculations?Continue

Ways to get water bubbles out of wax?
Started by Fin Crowe in Problems & Questions on Thursday. 0 Replies 0 Likes
So, i have had Aeolus for a couple weeks now, and he has had water bubbles in his wax from the beginning (which was an issue i knew about before buying him). I have been trying to cycle him by using the following method:1. Leave it on until it is in full-flow.2. Turn off for about 5 minutes, or until all the wax has merged into a dome at the bottom, but isnt cooled off.3. Turn on again and make sure the bubbles at the top of the dome are popping or merging.4. Turn off again when the bubbles…Continue
