Home Made Lava

So guys, what kind of wax do you use in your home made lamps? I want to make one soon without a gookit. Any suggestions or tips?

a very useful tool here is to use the search feature located at the top right corner of every page on OG. You'll find your answer.

I actually tried that, but I came up with no good results. Most of what I found were ideas people had, but there was no confirmation that it worked.

Search you tube for a guy w/the name rwinkler2002. His homemade lamps seem pretty decent. With all due respect, it's probably more worth your money and effort to go with a goo kit though. Pretty sure if there were a homemade recipe which gave stellar results, it'd be found front and center right here on this site. Good luck, which ever you try-
