| Oct 21, 2020 at 13:00 | comment | added | spikey_richie | Yes, it could be held in place by the glass bottle. My concern would be the gel physically touching the bulb, which may become an issue. | |
| Oct 21, 2020 at 12:58 | comment | added | Weather Vane | Can the weight of the lamp secure it? I am not sure of the shape but if it is curved you could cut a slit in (or a wedge out of) a circular piece and place it in the stand. The warmth of the lamp might encourage it to form the right shape after that. If it turns out to be not quite right, use it as a template for a second attempt. | |
| Oct 21, 2020 at 12:55 | comment | added | spikey_richie | Thanks, that's not a bad suggestion. The issue would be mounting it, as there's nowhere to affix the gel to. P.S. I've worked backstage in theatre before (running the fly rail), I don't know why I didn't think of this! | |
