<p>Hey so your method seems to have worked. But the wax is just absorbing each other instead of bouncing off each other. and would adding more surf help break the wax up more to smaller blobs?<br></br> <br></br> <cite>Claude J said:</cite></p>

<p>First, Try adding more SURF</p>
<p>If that has no effect, Try adding chemical contents to change the flexibility</p>
<p>How?</p>
<p>Pour the master fluid into a clean pitcher</p>
<p>Put the globe into a water bath and melt the wax</p>
<p>In a measuring cup put a glob of vaseline petroleum jelly</p>
<p>Melt that in a water bath as well (does not take long)</p>
<p>The amount you add depends on the size of the globe, start with a 1/2 teaspoon of melted vaseline to the wax </p>
<p>Stir gently with Bar-B-Que skewers or equlavent.<br/>let cool<br/>Add master fluid</p>
<p>Turn on and test run</p>
<p></p>
<p>BE CAREFUL<br/> if you add too much vaseline you will have excessive flotation</p>
<p>You will have to either dilute that master fluid with distilled water to change the specific gravity or weigh the Lava down with PERC</p>
