Something Interesting About Me:
In 2009 I was the Director of Operations for Magma Tower, producers of the largest lava lamps in the world. After a fall out with the former owner I was locked out of all of my accounts associated with the company. Fast forward to present day and that owner has been bought out by the inventor himself Louie Finkle. Now I am helping Louie get his company back under control and producing beautiful motion lamp displays.
Where I Live:
California
My First Lava Lamp was:
Custom built 2 foot tall lamp.

    Hey there, it's great to have you join the goo. I'd love to get hold of a grandes' worth of your goo later this year - the results that people have had with it on this site have been spectacular!

    Cheers Rod

    Those magma towers are sweet! Do you make the clear cylinder out of plexiglass? I would imagine actual glass would be quite heavy?

    Yeah, I guess you could say that it lasts a lifetime given the fact that how long the lava brand goo lasts. I like the flow alot better than the traditional lava goo as well.

    Hey Jonny,
    I would love to post pictures. Only thing they do not do the lamp any justice. I is more BEAUTIFUL in person. Seems on the photo I can't get the lighting right for the picture.

    Hey Jonny, thanks for the info on the blacklight - one last question, is the blacklight a bulb that you put in the lamp or is it a room light source? I'd love to get something like this happening at home, it looks amazing!
    Cheers Rod

    Can't wait for your new lava lamp to hit the stores. You've probably heard this 1000 times before but if not, how bout a dial control that you can manually adjust to phase through the colour spectrum with? Then you can set it on whatever colour takes your fancy at the time and change it whenever you like :)

    I'm not so sure you're in the market to give any advice, but I have been trying to make a pea green wax for about a year now. I can't seem to get a pure green. There is always a red glow. Any way your goo kit could be tweeked to do a green with more yellow in it? I'm not too sure how the kits work. Is the buyer of the kit in charge of mixing the colors?

    Hi Jonny, did my first goo refill on a lunar yesterday using the orange blacklight dye. the wax seems to be seperating into loads of tiny balls and blobs instead of stretching. i tried to add more surfactant but made no difference. Also when it cools down after using it doesn't settle as it should at the bottom of the bottle, it just sits in a mound-it seems like it is cooling and setting hard before it has a chance to fall to the bottom, any ideas? thanks Tony

    Hi Jonny, yes its on a dimmer. have tried it on all kinds of settings and with different coils, an original lunar coil (brand new), and a smaller astro coil, and also both. Seems to run the same whatever i use and whatever setting i have it on, but the hotter it is, all the blobs just sit at the top. i have turned the dimmer right down to about 20% (20w) and still runs bad. :(. very disappointed-have not even bothered to make up the other 2 batches yet. thanks Tony
