My Lava Lamp
Hi all,
Just thought I'd take a shot of one of my lava lamps.
Yes technically they are oil and water.
But after reviving quite a few over the years they are not just oil and water but water, oil, paraffin, sodium laureth sulphate, propylene glycol , carbon tetrchloride, and sometimes a few droos of perc and even kero to make it stretch a bit.
Its a bit if a balancing act to get oil to sink in water and heat it without changing the specific gravity and surface tension.
Took me many hours of playing with poisonous chemicals to get it right
Been so cloudy outside lately ive been making a new one from an old bottle.
At the moment its purple and clear but im going green i think.
Cheers
Andy
