<p>I used to make wave bottles for my friends when I was a kid. I used paint thinner for part of the fill and added Johnson and Johnson baby oil for the other half. They worked flawlessly. I just cannot remember 100 percent if it was the thinner I dyed or the oil blue to create the blue wave. I think it was the paint thinner. Not sure if the oil would take the dye. Either way they worked very well and never leaked or smelled once sealed. As for sealing the leak on your lamp it's…</p>

I had several of these and sold them once I noticed the liquid dissipating. I could not remove the end caps. And when I messed with the microscopic crack it got worse. I actually had to throw one away it got so bad. Acrylic nail polish just helped to open the crack more and I not water proof. I have no idea what to use to seal it and silicone will not do the trick alone. I think epoxy glue which is water proof would do the trick. The kind where you have to mix the two tubes of glue then apply before it dries in 20 or so seconds. I use it to seal my Grande lamps and it works very well. Maybe Gorilla Glue? </p> So "phreaktor" have you had a…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2009-08-06:1566398:Comment:1072532009-08-06T14:19:49.000Zwayne millerhttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/waynemiller

I'm gonna put her back in storage, till I figure out what to do. I've been searching on the net for fabricators, but they all seem to want a HUGE order...<br />
Oh well, guess I'll put the Wave away, for now :(

Vixen, you might be better off finding another machine on ebay (be patient) and selling your liquid. It could fetch a good price to someone that needs to do a top off/refill. I dunno. Unless you can find a replacement body.

Well, this isn't exactly a parts distributor. I am custom building a massive 4 foot wave machine and the only reason I bout the one I won on Ebay is to study the mechanics of it. You may be able to get the dimension of acrylic box tubing that you need here:<br />

The end caps are in terrific shape! Just gotta get the housing & gaskets... I'd love to contact your sources, if you're willing to share? PM me.

I just won this exact model on eBay the other day. I plan to custom build a much larger one of my own based off the design. I have a couple sources for short order acrylic suppliers that will machine any parts you need like tubing and endcaps.
