Royal Fail

[Paul]

This turned up yesterday, the postman was standing at my door with it and just said "Oh". Looks like its taken quite a battering.

Will post more pics when I open it up.

Worst thing was it was a red metallic astro, not like something from a shop that can just be replaced. It was sent by next day special delivery but it still took over a week to arrive.

I'm told that the metallic wax can work in just water so I might try to get the block of wax out and put it in an empty telstar bottle I have. Might as well give it a shot I guess.

Good news it I have managed to get another of the same, if the next one turns up like that I will be so pissed.

[Paul]

Havent looked inside yet but the box looks small, I will open it soon and see.

[Paul]

Just had a look, the bottle was crushed, will post some pics later. The fluid is very heavy and smelles like propain so I expect I will have trouble getting it going again. Might do what you did Bohdan and add some of the wax to another lamp to change the flow.

Whoever packed it did a shit job I must say. Done right, that bottle should NOT have broken. Especially such a small bottle.

That's gotta Suck!

All the more annoying that it should happen to a rare red Metallic Astro.

[Paul]

Yeah, This one was cheap. Also got the other person to end the listing early.

By the way, if anyone has any ideas for what I can do with the wax let me know.

[Paul]

Hhmm, I have a few metallic purple bottles so I might do what you have done above because it looks great then I will have the correct fluid to maybe make a red metallic telstar or astro bottle, thanks Bohdan.
Never messed with the wax and fluid before so I will have to try not to mess it up.

[Paul]

That did cross my mind too
