Teach us something

atlien seeko · Jan 1, 2012

I dont have anything to teach right now, but I know some people really enjoy and are really good at teaching, so leave a lesson. It can be as simple or complex as you want it to be, but lets try to refrain from just copying and pasting material from the web to keep it interactive.

I'll post something when it comes to mind, but right now, I'm looking forward to learning.

If you wanna reheat something in the microwave, place a damp paper towel over it.

You will need water based food coloring, 91% isopropyl alcohol, 70% isopropyl alcohol, oil pastels, base with a light bulb, beeswax, and paraffin wax.

Spoiler [-]

Step 1: Mix paraffin wax with beeswax.

You will need paraffin wax but it can’t be the kind that grocery stores sell. You will need premium candle wax from a crafts store like Michaels.
You will also need beeswax in order to give your wax mixture a cloudy look.
Melt 3oz of paraffin wax and beeswax into a pot.
Place the pot in a huge bowl of ice in order to cool the wax back into a solid.

Or you can stick it in the freezer.
Break the wax into little pieces so it can fit in your bottle

Step 2: Heat 91% isopropyl alcohol and wax in a bottle.

You will need a 16oz bottle that has a cap so you can seal it.
Pour the alcohol into the bottle.
Don’t fill your bottle all the way to the top. Leave a pretty big gap in your bottle so it doesn’t blow up when it gets hot.

Drop chunks of wax into the bottle but don’t go overboard.This is overboard:

Prop the bottle on a base and heat the contents with a small light bulb. Should look like this after about 20 minutes:

Spoiler [-]
Don’t use anything hotter than a 40 watt bulb or else you might end up like Philip Quinn. He tried to heat up a lava lamp with his stove and the results were very bad.
A piece of glass through the heart is not a good way to go out.

Step 3: Balance the weight of the wax

You will need 70% isopropyl alcohol in order to balance the weight of your wax.
Pour small drops of 70% isopropyl alcohol into the bottle. Once you begin putting in drops it should look something like this

Spoiler [-]
You want it to where the wax rises up for a few seconds then drops back down to the bottom. After you balance the weight of the wax it should look like this

Step 4(optional): Color the wax with oil pastels.

Cut off a small chunk from any color oil pastel that you want and drop it into your bottle.
Let it soak for a while before going onto the next step. I get impatient and I add more more bits of oil pastels and the lava lamp ends up looking like this:

Step 5: Color the liquid with food coloring.

Pour any color of food coloring into your bottle.
You will only need one drop
If you use too much it will make the liquid too dark.

The spoilers don't work because the pix were deleted.
