Getting ready to goo kit ! Thinking blood red wax, also metallic wax . TIPS WELCOME !!!

[Joanne]

I have a VERY CLOUDY Grande that is basically a pea shooter ( even after 8 hours it doesn't flow , just pops out little balls ) :P. thinking of  going for a goo kit . I want deep blood red but I have heard the darker colors (lots of dye in the wax ) tend to stick . Also wondering about adding metallic to wax . Has anyone had very good luck with this ? I might have some 52 oz bottles coming so i can practice on them first .

Thank you Rob , any tips and input is appreciated !!

For what it's worth, I made a "black" wax / red liquid lamp by taking an older purple / clear and saturating the wax with purple goo-kit dye. After coloring the liquid red, the wax looks completely black, and I've had no sticking problems at all.

Whoops, Almost forgot, when it comes to adding metallic to wax, people will use silver Sharpie markers to give a metallic look.

 

You need to cut the end off of the marker and pull out the "reservoir," which is the soft material that holds the marker's ink. You then start squeezing the reservoir at one end and work it down to the other end (like a tube of tooth paste). I believe I heard it takes 8 markers to do a 52oz lamp.

I painted and goo'ed a 52oz lamp, to give it a Michael Myers/ "Halloween I" theme. I used the red dye, that was supplied with the kit, to make my blood red lava. Flows like Butta. No sticking what so ever.
