Lava lamp overheating chart
I’ve seen so picture charts with the different flows and if it’s to hot or cold but the just right and the slightly too warm look the same to me in the pictures so I can never tell if/ when I should turn on my dimmers. What should I be looking for specifically and how much do I dim the lamps because sometimes I will turn the dimmer on and it stops flowing like it got to cold See More

"Hi Cate, are you going to make the shelves or buy ready-made? If you make them (or have someone make them for you), you could install a trim piece on the front to hide the electrical. That’s what we are considering too. "
"Hi , hope school is doing well, school 1st then lava ! . Spot 2 will be great . Yes you can do floating shelf’s you just need to anchor it in the wall when you screw you into the wall , they make a few tools that do this at the hardware…"

"i ran it for a bit and its all good now i think it was just a bit to cold in my room for it earlier"
"It looks like it just cooled that way. Try running the lamp for a few hours to allow for proper temperature before turning it off."
"like is this wax stuck or did it just cool strange"

Also I’m going to document iit because some people showed interest in seeing my lava lamp makeover( also I’m still in lock down and need something to do) I have three spaces in my room that I think would work which I will…
