My Purple / White Grande

[Dr. WHAT?!]

If you know of a local lava lamp reseller you should hit them up for any bad grandes they may have laying around. I did this and scored 2 grandes for $60 both came with brand new bases, caps and bulbs.

Yeah, that seems to be the biggest problem GooKitting Grandes - getting a cheap Grande. I got one of mine for just $20 shipped thanks to a friend here, and the other one I found on eBay for $50 shipped.

The thing which is putting me off gookiting grande's is the goo needed - 1 quat is a lot just for 1 lamp and i can't justifie currently.

Grande wize I have been lucky - yes there are about 50 quid or more on Ebay but the last one I found on gumtree cost £15 and the one before £10.

[Dr. WHAT?!]

Hey Wile, what type of paint did you use on those bases?

Using this stuff.  Works great!!  Dries in a day, and no problems with heat or anything.

That's really very beautiful. How much of the purple dye did you use for that Grande?

I have one to convert and was almost sure that I was gonna use blue- but that purple is making me rethink it again.

I used the violet dye, and NOT the purple.  I figured the purple would be too dark, but as I think about it, it may have been the one I should've used.  I was actually going for a light lavender color, but I LOVE the shade it turned out!!  It's a really great color in person!!  I used just a scrape of the violet.  Really barely any.  If you can imagine lightly scraping your fingernail across the top of the dye pack, and collects under your nail, about half of that..  You can always just add more as it's running.  Just put a tiny bit at a time if you want to darken it up a little, and it just floats on top, and eventually the wax will pick it up, and it will blend together.  The kit calls for 55ml or surf, but I only used about 35 in this grande.  It flows the way I like it with less surf.  I've made 6 grandes, and a few 52oz, and all have turned out great.  I always am amazed at the clarity of the water.  Crystal, and I do mean crystal clear!!  It rocks!!
