<p>Hi fellow lamp lover people</p>
<p>I found a method that has worked perfectly for me. I'm renewing my lamps with new Ooze from <a href="https://lavalabcreations.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">https://lavalabcreations.com/</a></p>
<p>I heated the lamp up and dumped the old stuff. Autumn suggested filling with gasoline, let it sit for a day. This worked well to really get all of the old stuff out. Obviously be careful and don't</p>

<p>blow yourself up. I dumped the gas back into my old Chevy and ran it when done.</p>
<p>I bought a long bottle brush and some cerium oxide glass paste polish. I hooked the brush up to my drill and added some polish paste with a little water and went to town. Spun the brush all around, then super cleaned with SLES drill and bottle brush, then rinsed with distilled water. Recharged with new Ooze from lava lab creations. The nice thing about this Ooze is that it runs on just pure distilled water for the master fluid. This is working great for me. Thanks Claude!</p>

<p>We have had two brand new bottles from Mathmos in orange and orange do the same thing, the first one was replaced and the second one did the same thing, but it was the same code on the lid. Third one they sent as ok, quality isn't up to scratch in my opinion, we never had any issues with bottles from before the 2000's</p>

<p>It can be cause from having a dirty lamp wall inside. I've replaced the fluid in some and if I didn't clean the inside of the lamp it would adhere just like this.</p>

<p>Well, Liz N Dan, I know when I goo kit and have sticking wax, it is caused by 2 things. One, the wax overheats and gets really soft causing it to stick (this comes from the guy at Magma Tower) and 2, he says a lack of surfactant which would be your dishsoap. Sometimes with the dish liquid there is too many other chemicals in it that react with the wax. Some have tried Bubble soap. Called Magic Bubbles I do believe. This is a little more pure then dish liquid. I never had luck with any…</p>

Sometimes with the dish liquid there is too many other chemicals in it that react with the wax. Some have tried Bubble soap. Called Magic Bubbles I do believe. This is a little more pure then dish liquid. I never had luck with any of this stuff but again I haven't made my own lava. I always just use the bought stuff from gookits.com. If you lava is reacting with your dish soap then it's some sort of a chemical reaction with whatever you made your lava out of. You can order surfactant from magma tower and try that. There are more professionals on here then I that maybe can give you come other ideas. </p> How do you keep your lava fro…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2015-01-29:1566398:Comment:5694812015-01-29T12:57:12.658ZLiz n Dan Goodwinhttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/LiznDanGoodwin
How do you keep your lava from sticking to the sides while it's running. I made my own lava and it was working great and now the lava just runs along the sides up to the top. Please don't say dish soap because i have tried that and it makes my lava flake almost like dandruff

<p>Thanks for the information. The aluminum foil worked great no more sticking to the side. Glad to find a group interested in lava lamps. Will post some pics of my collection at a later date.</p>
