<p>Well I've put 1/4 cup of salt in the Grande and changed the bulb to a 75w but the wax still just sits on the bottom like oil under water, very fluid but never doming. There must be a problem with my goo mix which was 1/3 perc and 2/3 water.</p>
<p>In the mean time the little one using the old goo and tap water has a very nice flow all kinds of sizes and shapes.</p>
<p>Tomorrow Im going to pour out the little one and use it to play with the goo mix and water mix for the grande.</p>

<p>That is what my research keeps telling me but I didn't want to overdo it.</p>
<p>In the meanwhile I took a small glitter lamp I bought at Walmart years ago and opened it. It did not have any wax in it, so I cleaned the bottle and put some of the yellow wax from the Grande in and filled it with just tap water to play. I had to add a lot of salt but it finally started to work. I have been reading since I posted and Im pretty sure I can make the liquid right but not so sure about the wax…</p>

<p>Can you tell me what the proportion of wax to liquid is? How high from the bottom of the bottle should the wax extend when cold? Thank you</p>

<p>Good Morning Larry,</p>
<p>you have to add more salt, much more. I use <span lang="en" xml:lang="en">saturated brine</span> instead of pure Salt.</p>
