Hm and how should i do this? Pull water out, warm up the goo and pull it out. I think this will not work so good.
At the first days the goo was not baked / glued at the bottom walls.
Thats my second kit and i put a lot of money in shipping to Germany...

Just wanted to pass along some information I discovered on Friday 5/21/10. I called Magma Towers at 562-602-2842 to talk to someone about the goo kits and learn a little more. Here's what I discovered by talking with Lizette. By the way, she answered the phone, unlike Lava World! Ha!
I understand that the goo kits may be offered on eBay as early as next week, Wednesday 05/26/10. Lizette is waiting on some final touches to the plan.

In questioning her about the kits I found out two things. One was that she thinks the kit will be offered with green, yellow and blue dyes. Red will be a custom dye at around $5 USD additional. I thought that was odd. Anyway, wait and see what shows up on eBay.

I also asked what they use to dye the water with after the surf is added. She says they have never colored the water. Has anybody ever made a lamp with a goo kit using food coloring or such? Seems it might mess up the specific gravity balance set up in the goo from the factory. Either way, I'm looking forward to trying my hand at it in the near future. I have a 32oz. globe calling my name.

Hm i put the lava and water from one Lamp out. I bought 6 Pink/clear Mathmos Astro lamps. Will see how good this will work in the grande.
Was not easy to get the baked goo from the bottom. used nearly boiling water, some liquid soap and a brush to get it clear.

Watch it. 5 Mathmos Astro Lamps are enough for exactly 1 Grande an one 8oz Lamp.

Absolutely amazing Flow. Its Perfect.

Very nice color. No way I can afford 6 pink Mathmos though!!!

Gookits.com is temporarily shutdown. You may buy gookits through Ebay.

Mettalic wax on hold. We are working on the new lamp, the Spectrum, which will have LED's, heat pad, and mp3 aux plug. About 50 inches tall. Should be ready to show in less than 30 days.
