My First Lava Lamp was:
I purchased a cheap one in a brazilian web page where the people offer all kinds of stuffs to sell. I choose one model with clear liquid and blue lava. After wait anxiously for some days, the lamp arrived and when I opened the box I had a big deception: the clear liquid was clouded! Besides the seller offered to return my money, I decide stay with the lamp to make some experiments with it intending make my own lava lamp.

    Thanks for the link I will check it out!

    If you want me check your text and make corrections to the grammar I will be happy to do this. If you add me as a friend you can send it to me in message form. Quite convenient, it's like having personal email here.

    By the way your English is very good as most people here can't speak any Portuguese!

    Hi again. Can't you buy the wax at a grocery store? Sure, send the story. I'm real curious on how your experiments will turn out. Sounds like a lot of work, but interesting!
