Goo Kit - Houston we have a problem!!

[kero48]

All,

I goo kitted a century bottle a few days ago and all was right in the world. The first two days the lamp ran beautifully.

Third day it seems as if a lava plug formed up top, maybe 1/8" thick same diameter as the bottle top.

Ran it a forth day added a tad more color to go from really light blue to medium blue and now the plug is maybe 1" thick.

Lava at the bottom only goes up half way now no matter how long lamp is run.

I have a suspicion. The colored wax provided with the kit, in this case, blue is contaminating the lava and causing some of it to be way to buoyant.

I will attach a photo tomorrow which will show the problem. I fear this bottle has to be redone.

What else could cause this. Right now the lamp looks like an old 70's model that has separated top and bottom when you find them used.

Thoughts?

add some water, add some surf, shake bottle to coat sides, dump contents (leaving lava intact), add new water, heat and enjoy
