Thank you for you bienvengoo. I ma glad to be among lava lovers.

You have a very nice collection.

Hello! :)

Thanks for the welcoming, and it's an honor to be among you here :))

Thanks for your warming welcome :-)

Hello :)

Alpha, you are so, so, correct! It will be tricky, but I just do not want to buy a kit where it is all ready to go like a cake mix if you get my drift? I think you do. I want to actually make this stuff, not because I created the formula, I found the formula on oozinggoo. Not many if any that I have been able to find can actually do it, explain it and use materials that can be bought at home depot and auto parts stores.

I suspect I may fail, as I know this, you said you were a collector and not scientifically oriented. I am both those things and I just want to see if I can do it. I will say this your collection of lamps is absolutely awesome, so I think somewhere inside you lies the curiosity of a scientist in a lab. Hell if I fail I do, but you have already succeeded with your beautiful collection. How many people have what you put together? Not many. I want to see if this is possible for me to do without a fancy lab, no help etc. Then let's say I pull it off? Big question there I know. But if I do I would want your insight on designs, what you like and why and then I will go for beauty.

Sorry to ramble on, I just must get off my ass and try it, as I said, I have all the stuff I think I need. I have about $60 invested in all the crap I needed to buy. Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello, I got your note, and I am going to attempt to make the goo first, that seems to be the tricky part. I'll let you know how I do?? 

Alpha, your collection is overwhelming and I see some really unique items. Tell me are you a collector only, or do you also make your own? 

Thanks Alpha, this is an interesting site from what I have seen so far. I have compiled all the chemicals/materials I think I need to attempt making my very own lava lamp from scratch. I am following the "Retro Formula" that came up while searching the web. I have a purpose in mind, #1 is my pure love of the beauty of these things and secondarily I consult to my son that has a show, one of which is based on Scientific experiments. He is on YOUTUBE and has well over a million subs. and in fact that is what he does full time.

So I thought about lava lamps as being an interesting thing, not just to admire but build from the materials listed in the retro formula, I have not yet had the guts to try it out yet, I mean actually trying to build one as it is somewhat daunting when I look at how exact one must be, especially in making your own goo or lava. I am not sure I can do it, but if I can and we are all in agreement regarding posting a video, well we will see, you may see it ?. We never agree within the family 100%, but I think the idea is cool. I may well need advice from all that are interested in helping me once I try to make the lava. I know the "specific gravity " is critical here.

So thanks for the welcome, I see you must have some knowledge in the field. I have a background in science and get the concepts, the question is can I execute well enough to make one? Big question right now. I wish you well...terry

thanx for the welcome wish.  any idea where I can get an iconic ceramic series right now?

Thank you for the welcome in!  Im glad to have found this  site.

Thanks AC.

I am looking to get some Lava Lamps and the ones here in the USA basically suck....so I gotta go to the source and get some Mathmos!  Just trying to figure out the best way to operate them here on our 120v systems......
