Oozing Goo - The Lava Lamp Syndicate

Since one of my neon yellows stopped flowing I tinkered with the formula. I added some surfactant and salt, but I ended up ruining the fluid. I refilled the lamp with distilled water, 3ml of surfactant, and some salt. I also dyed the wax to orange so I wouldnt have two lamps of the same color.

I think the Tweaky bit is in the wax formula !

I tried using different ratios of salt and surfactant.

I give up trying to restore/improve lava Autumn... too much heartache and disappointment, I can never get the original Lava Lite or Mathmos flow we all love..

What are the "tweaky bits"...?

Sadly I don't think this lamp will make it. After the first run the lamp quit flowing again. I refilled it three more times with different formulas and got the same result every time. My next step is to try another coil.

This is amazing. Definitely needs to be added to the 52 oz. neon line-up!

I totally agree with all of you, can you mention how many of us are interested to them?  This is absolutely stunning, Autumn.  You created a work of art.  I'd love one.

Lovely.  And LL does indeed need to get on the ball and offer this color.  Seriously thinking about sacrificing two 32 oz 90's globes, a red and yellow to make an orange.  Hopefully I'll get the ratio right for the color.

damn. LL seriously needs to offer this color.
