Thanks. I got a different bulb, which seems to do fine. The past couple of days i've been working on making the goo right. I've got one color great, and just gotta make the other color as great since it's not yet sinking in the 20%. Found some candles that are perfect colors, but they're glade "seasonal" candles, so my condo smells a lot like christmas...i did try to take a shortcut and ran out of canning jars and ended up breaking the glass i was melting stuff in and had to clean up my kitchen and close it off to the dogs for a while...ha...but it's all worth it for the wife! :)
here's something i don't get, scientifically speaking. how does putting in two different colors work? cuz i would think after they melt they'd get together and form one color, and not stay separate. but in my first attempt at this lamp, which wasn't successful, they did stay pretty separate. :)
i know i had more to ask/say, but don't remember what, as work has interrupted this message a million times, so i guess i'll just end this now. i'll post more pictures when i'm satisfied with its (hopefully) eventual success.
Alright! I'm pretty satisfied with it, and think this will be a successful "first lamp." All I have to say is that it took a lot more salt than I thought, so I read and read and just took the "keep adding salt until..." advice. Great advice. Found an old thread in the archives here similar to my issue and went with that, which was encouraging. When it first started working, there were LOTS of smallish bubbles, and even tinier bubbles, but I was satisfied, cuz hey, at least it was working. After letting it cycle on and off a few times over the past few days, the bubbles have become more solid, larger, and look less like soap bubbles. Here it is from this morning. Those colors are off, it's actually yellow water with purple wax. There is a green effect every now and then.
