Neon orange

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.

Comment by Aladdin 2 Lava on June 5, 2013 at 8:40am: I think the Tweaky bit is in the wax formula !

Comment by Autumn on June 5, 2013 at 8:32am: I tried using different ratios of salt and surfactant.

Comment by Aladdin 2 Lava on June 5, 2013 at 8:31am: 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"...?

Comment by Autumn on June 5, 2013 at 6:20am: 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.

Comment by G. T. on May 31, 2013 at 8:23pm: 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.

Comment by Keith on May 31, 2013 at 7:12pm: 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.
