<p>I assume you have 40-watt appliance bulb in the base unit?</p>

<p>from the last video i posted where i had a little movement, i changed nothing. the master fluid was poured out and saved, and replaced as is. when i coated the bottle with surf, drained everything out, did not rinse it.</p>
<p>IF there was too much surf left, would the option to fix it be replacing the master fluid again with 60 Propylene Glycol/ 40 Distilled Water mixture</p>
