hi, well i was only speaking to mathmos at the autum fair trade show NEC birmingham (uk) three weeks ago, marcus at mathmos told us all bottles are filled by machine, the master mixer does his bit i suppose mix the colours ect but the machine does the filling if he had to fill all bottles by hand well you think about it time consuming, but any custom colours are mixed and filled by hand and tested, so i dont know mate just telling what they told us at the trade show as we was looking into…

hi lucy, yes im fine hoping this xmas will bring in the buyers out there i know its early but when your selling gifts you do start hoping early :o)<br />
<br />
well if you get mathmos to do a custom colour wax that they dont already do let every one know, i would like a yellow wax/clear liquid they told us at the trade show if they dont have the pigments they cannot make them, seems silly but the MD told us they lost some of the master mix ingredients some years ago, an example a customer wanted a custom…

<br />
good stuff isn't it.<br />
<br />
all the best to you both from darren :o) thanks for the info darren.…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2008-09-23:1566398:Comment:556122008-09-23T20:12:33.476ZFord Prefect - NPNGhttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/Lucy
thanks for the info darren.<br />
<br />
Shame about the custom colours, but who knows, maybe that might change, as they did say originally absolutely no customs whatsoever but Sam pestered and we got them so its deffo worth a try! (possibly a mission for me next year lol)<br />
<br />
It is a shame about the lunar, but such is life. i dont think i'll ever not be tempted by one if i happend to have the cash in my bank!<br />
<br />
Me and Sam are great, thanks for asking, how about yourself?

hi bohdan, well i dont have any other makes only mathmos appart from my curvy lady (think its china made) so i cannot comment on the lunars flow to any USA or china lamp but i must say the lunar bottles i have flow so well such great shapes just so good to watch, yes like you say all the time mathmos do not bring the lunar back it will push up the value of the originals, the lunar is the ultimate icon.

hi dave i did put that to them but they say its down to todays health and safety rules and regs, the lunar is a heavy lamp and any other way to make the legs would not be safe, they said the lunars legs are very well shaped to give the look they have, you could not imagine the telstar rocket lamp style legs on a lunar this could be an easy way to make them but would never look any good, they say they must be a cast and alluminium is the only way but just not viable, mathmos know how sought…
hi dave i did put that to them but they say its down to todays health and safety rules and regs, the lunar is a heavy lamp and any other way to make the legs would not be safe, they said the lunars legs are very well shaped to give the look they have, you could not imagine the telstar rocket lamp style legs on a lunar this could be an easy way to make them but would never look any good, they say they must be a cast and alluminium is the only way but just not viable, mathmos know how sought after the lunars have become and if they made a limited edition run they would possibly sell but at todays prices they would cost to much and they are not willing to take the gamble.<br />
<br />
only reason you can buy replacement lunar bottles is as you know the bottle is a whisky bottle so mathmos do not have to make them!<br />
<br />
its a shame as its a real classic looking lamp.<br />

hi lucy, hope you and sam are well, yes i will post a pic or two when it arrives, as for any custom bottles they did tell me they may not do any before xmas as they are now getting busy, as i am a retailer i attended the autum trade fair at birmingham NEC a couple of weeks ago and mathmos were also there had a chat with the MD they told me that they no longer can do any custom bottles if its a colour other than what they currently sell like for instance violet/purple wax in clear it has to be a…
hi lucy, hope you and sam are well, yes i will post a pic or two when it arrives, as for any custom bottles they did tell me they may not do any before xmas as they are now getting busy, as i am a retailer i attended the autum trade fair at birmingham NEC a couple of weeks ago and mathmos were also there had a chat with the MD they told me that they no longer can do any custom bottles if its a colour other than what they currently sell like for instance violet/purple wax in clear it has to be a wax colour they currently sell, thats a shame as i wanted a yellow wax clear liquid lunar.<br />
also its strange they wont do a clear and white lunar but they sell it in the astro, i understand its a different mix but its a real pain and yes its because of the failure rate.<br />
<br />
i also asked the MD if there was any chance in a re-lunch of the lunar answer is NO not a chance although they realise the lunars popularity but the cost to make them is way out, they said whilst the lunar was in production 75 out of every 100 made was scrapped all due to the cast alliminium legs these caused issues when polishing after the mould process they broke up bits fell out and now days this would be to costly, would have been great to get a brand new one.<br />
<br />
same with stocking replacement JET bottles they need to produce a run of 30'000 bottles each day and a three day run thats 90'000 bottles to make it pay but they would be in stock for years and years, so thats why they do not sell new jet bottles, strange i asked why not re lunch the jet but they say its not popular enough, i thought it was one of the best looking lamps to appear.<br />
<br />
well thats it from me, you take care lucy.<br />
<br />
cheers darren.
