Comment by Arne on February 1, 2013 at 5:09pm: another idea: do you know which light source mt uses? maybe its a halogen with blue/white light and the standart lunar has a rather yellow/red spectrum...might be an issue.

i´ve had the same problem with the green dye. i tried two different green packs. the same effect. i added the dye to the rising goo at the top and watched the mixing closely. one moment it was still green and a few seconds later the same piece of dye converted to a definite red. a few days later i was mixing a light turquoise out of blue and yellow. the result was great... then i decided to add a "bit" more blue to make it more opaque... i thought it´s unlikely that this issue will happen with the blue color, too. and BOOM: the same problem. i tested two different packs, too. i have no idea what this bizarre effect is. both lamps (52oz) look horrible now :( i will dye the rest of my goo very, very carefully. beside a few other strange issues my first gookit experience was very disappointing... but i think i will give it a new try some day.

Comment by Loren on January 29, 2013 at 8:29pm: Hi! No, I don't think so...I think the green dye may be a little contaminated with red! You and I are not the only ones who have had this happen, where the wax looks purple when warm, but green when cold.
