Ingredients for my first lamp

[Waffler]

Just to be sure that I am on the right track, do you think if I would buy this it would be equal to or better than getting a goo kit?

Wax

Surfactant
http://www.amazon.com/Durvet-Propylene-Glycol-1-Gal/dp/B000HHLMKS 

Dye

1lb Wax = $8.87

1gal Propylene Glycol = $29.88

Green Dye = $3.00 (give or take)

           Total: $41.75

Just make sure the wax is paraffin wax. For surfactant you also might want to look in to glycerin.

you will also need some perc, salt and possablie other items - check out the retro formular - http://www.oozinggoo.com/ll-form5.html

Isn't a goo kit about 35 bones?

[Wile E. Coyote]

Not too mention simple to do, and a hell of a lot less frustration!! :-)

$50 with shipping for a goo kit. The most expensive thing is the surf, but it comes with gallon so I wouldn't have to use much. I was on the patent page and it was saying if you use 70% water and 30% propylene glycol it would work but I am not sure if that page is flawed. Also the wax says its " first grade paraffin wax." Has any here ever tryed the propylene glycol?

The goo kit is just as simple as what I listed. You have surf, wax, water, wax dye. It can't be that frustrating (if it works). And worst case scenario I just use water salt and a little soap. I have never done anything like this, I am just assuming on things I have read but it doesn't seem like it is that hard to get it going.

I fully support your efforts and look forward to seeing how you fare!

I wrote that and yes it is flawed. I was never able to figure out the formula, but I got a good start.

PG works bought a gallon for 29 bones. Don't you also need bee's wax to give the parafin wax some opacity , otherwise wax will be clear in your globe.

I had no idea about that. Can you link me to a thread about it?

Waffler check out the discussion I started a little while ago about the you tube video.
