  • whoa, was the fake lava hot?

  • No. With the steam and glowing properties, it seems hot but for safety it is actually just room temperature. It is not even toxic, although I wouldn't recommend drinking it.

  • hey is dat on Oahu?

  • Yes. The Bishop Museum.

  • that is really cool what did u use for the lava?

  • We needed it to be mostly water for safety but to get the effect we used a safe fluorescent orange dye and some additives commonly used in paint that increase the water's surface tension. This makes it appear heavier and thicker than it really is. To shoot it in the air we used pumps but we injected the mixture with compressed air before pumping it up.
