I think I remember seeing that they have a new sales contact (withing the last few months) They need to really get their act together.

Yep Tim, to a "T" the directions were followed.
They usually come out fine, but I have recently noticed a rather wide variance between different batches of goo. For a while I had to label them 'slow' and 'fast' so that I could mix them to try and get the right flow. If I hadn't had a quart of each, I would have been SOL. In fact I did have to let 1-2 of the 'fast' lamps go before I figured out what was going on. I have offered to repair these lamps, but so far nobody has taken me up on it.

Tim-not sure what you mean...
Do you mean it's hard to go wrong when making our lamps using goo kit? Cuz yes, I agree. Simple instructions, very easy.
I definitely agree with Loren. The goo in the youtube video (the one w/5 lamps going at once) is flowing NOTHING like the goo I got. That video shows some interesting, stretchy flow. This goo I've been toying with-the contaminated goo-wouldn't move at all until I added epsom salt. Then, the flow I got is what I consider very dull-big, round blobs. Interesting to note-I've been adding Dawn dishsoap in INCREDIBLE quantities in an attempt to alter the shape/flow of the blobs. I'm amazed that upwards of 1.5 teaspoons of dish soap have not destroyed the wax. Nor permanently altered the flow. Nor clouded the tap water. It changes to long stretchy for a minute or so, then reverts back to fat blobs. No wax sticking to sides of glass, like happens PRONTO if you put even a drop too much Dawn into a LL lamp. That's happened to me a few times, which is why I can't believe I can pour regular, blue Dawn in and MT wax is basically unaffected. I just turned the lamp on after letting it cool all night. I will post video to show you how the lamp runs after all the assaults I have dished out in my attempt to alter the flow (same lamp as in the video on page 6). Since adding the pg. 6 video, I have:
jus turned it back on, and here's how it looks:Tune in later for "As the Goo Turns"...
I've posted the results in the new thread Check out this flow! ---I'm amazed!
