<p>Update-</p>
<p>I fixed the problem with the Grande.At the 2 spots where the wax wouldn't stick,it actually looked like it was trying to repel from the glass at those spots.There were 2 slight hazy areas like something was on the glass surface.</p>

<p>That globe was cleaned a few times before I did the GooKit,but you had to look very very closely to see these smears of whatever.They are barely noticeable without a magnifying glass.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>I emptied the globe,and my husband cleaned and scrubbed those areas with something from the garage.I don't think it was gasoline,but something else?The smeared spots are gone now,and the lamp is flowing perfectly.The wax is nice and happy at the bottom of the globe.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Must have been remnants of some kind of nasty film left inside from the factory.My cleaning with detergent and hot water a few times would not even touch it.</p>

U need to clean that coil really good. Latex gloves, toothbrush, Degreaser, and rinse, then change gloves. then boil in distilled water. Never handle the coil without gloves after its clean. That should help
