Float On!!!

This is a light blue goo with purple liquid. The camera makes it look like the liquid is blue but it is actually purple!!

unfortunately the music doesn't match the beauty and harmony - quite the opposite

even silent would have been better - o.k. the title is a bit misleading, I was actually expecting

'Float On' by the Floaters , check that one out on youtube , THAT compliments that mellow beauty nicely

It was late and I went on iTunes like "hum, I need something that says float or flow or something, and float on was the first thing that came up, so there it was......wasn't really feelin it either, but again, this is what happens to insomniacs at 2ish am, lol!!

Haze, the lava was a darker blue and the fluid was purple. I sun faded the lava a tad to make it lighter blue because you really couldn't see it with the purple fluid. Then I darkened the fluid a shade and voila!! Yep, a kit. This was the lamp that Lava Lite replaced my son's 52 oz Neon Green with but they sent a purple liquid/yellow lava. Flowed so-so for a few months, then started pulling water up from the coil. Then I had it white lava/clear liquid but it was way, way to outstanding for my bedroom and threw off the mellow colors of the scene. This lamp did give me the run for my money due to the fact I could not get the wax to adhere to any of the coils I used. This has a few different hardwares in it for coils, lol, but is now one of my best flowin lamps!!!

Comment by Carol on February 15, 2015 at 10:41pm: I've had a few people wanting me to make them one, but I'm hesitant because they are not without their "bugs" as I call them!!! First off, the overheating issues which causes the goo to stick to the inside of the globes causing that "fog/soap scum/haze, streaks" whatever you want to call it. Kim from Magma says its from letting them get too hot. The candidate for a custom kit lamp would have to be a goo head from the door and understand how to run one of these to peak performance or run the risk of ruining it. I wouldn't want a bunch of my unsatisfied customers, i.e., friends coming back because their lamp now looks like the creature from the blue lagoon, lololol!!!! So on a serious, but not so serious note, lol to your comment, although like I said, I have had inquiries.......

Comment by Carol on February 15, 2015 at 10:50pm: Glitter is so much easier!!! I hate to admit coming from a fellow goohead!!!....especially the fact they don't need coils. I have had a run for my money kitting some new china lamps with bad coils and trying to find and make makeshift coils. Also, I'm always having to fudge with my kits. Adding surf due to wax sticking issues, darkening wax that seems to have lost it's color, etc., etc., It's ok because they're mine and it's no biggie to just "fix" it. I feel it's part of the hobbie. I wouldn't want those headaches though fixing someone else's. lol!!!

Comment by JC Harris on February 17, 2015 at 7:05pm: Very nice. This 'evolves' much faster than any of my old-school Lavalites. Is this because of extra -heat- or using a lower goo/H2O ratio?
