"Absolutely lovely collection, Keith. I too have the ocean floor and lunar lamps displayed together in my collection! I have decided to pair my ocean floor globe with a blue swirl base and it's really beautiful."

Hi all,I have a 90s USA lamp with some strange flow. I have uploaded photos below;The majority of the melted wax tends to stay in a dome at the bottom, while releasing little "bubbles". It stays at…Continue

Hi,I have a 52 oz globe from Spencer's, and I noticed that it really only tends to flow nicely when I put it on a 50 wattage bulb and it flows beautifully just like a 90s USA lamp. The lamp uses a 40…Continue

"That's a fantastic looking lamp btw. Great how the red wax and blue fluid make the wax look purple. Im jelly!"
"I personally don’t think food coloring messes up the color of the wax, because I’ve tweaked plenty of my lamps using food coloring, and re-coloring the liquid, etc. The color you use for the master fluid may change how the…"
"Okay, I have never seen the sticking wax issue before. Do you know if SLS will also prevent stickage? I am having difficulty finding pure SLES, but I can't keep myself from starting this refill, haha."
"SLES is a surfactant. A surfactant is required to to prevent the wax from sticking to the glass."
"Wow, thank you for that list! That sure helps, considering I have my hands on all of those except for the SLES. Do you think there would be much of a difference without the SLES added? I will continue to search for it online, but I am going to try…"
"What ?!? no after pics of the lamp running successfully? Come on, if there are no pics it did not happen!
MaGoo!"
"Yeah I've noticed that glycerol will do that. Propylene glycol won't, but you can really only add about 30% before the liquid starts to cloud. I've been extensively researching the formula and I do not totally understand the impact of…"
"Hi!
The globe has been at the correct temperature. I have added the glycerol to the lamp which totally saved the problem- the wax is up and flowing nicely! However, I think that adding the glycerol may be the cause for extremely bubbly wax. Do you…"
"What temperature is the globe getting to? It should get to about 120F to flow and can get up to about 140F at full temperature. I can't say for sure, but this could be a density issue. You can add glycerol in 1-5ML amounts at a time and see…"
"I don’t know fore sure and i wouldn’t do this unless I had to but , maybe the wax to needs re melted without the water inside, then cool down then add the water back? I had a 90s lamp that flowed bad or not at at and I did that and it…"
Lava flowing poorly ?
Hi all,I have a 90s USA lamp with some strange flow. I have uploaded photos below;The majority of the melted wax tends to stay in a dome at the bottom, while releasing little "bubbles". It stays at the bottom the entire time, even though there is still some minimal flow. I tilt it side to side, and the wax at the bottom moves around- it's almost like the wax stays with the coil.The issue may not be the heat output.. I leave it on for 4 hours and it flows this way. I left it on overnight, and it…See More
"Wow, what a good steal. Lava lamps are very hard to come by at second-hand stores in my area, I have never seen one. I see you may have uploaded photos but they do not open. I would love to see if you shared some more !"
New Sunflower lamp
"Wow, this is stunning! On first look I really did think it was a vintage usa lamp. What a beautiful find!"
