<p>so adding soap or more soap could solve the problem? and what dose the salt do that you have to ad? cause many times i had the problem that the wax was hot but it would not flow. so i added one drop of soap and it started to flow like crazy but after a few seconds it settled down and stayed at the bottom again.</p>

Surfuliant or surf which is commenly referd to on hear is soap substance which contains surfacants - thies brake up the wax which enables the wax to flow<br />
having too much surf makes the wax bubblie but not enough and it's one big blob<br />

<p>the problem is that i'm from germany and i can't find any translation for the word "surf". so what is it? do you mean if there are any air bubbles on the side of the globe. if so, than the answer is no. i have many tiny bubbles when i use normal water but they go away after a few hours.</p>

<p>the crazy thing is that the wax only sticks to the globe when i use distilled water. when i use water from the fauced i don't have this problem. so how bad is it and what difference dose it make when i use normal water instead of distilled water?</p>

<p>Let me just reopen the discussion cause i have the same problem now. but it is annoying cause those are really big spots.</p>
<p>i never hat this problem after cleaning my water. but since today i have the same problem on two of my lapms. the only thing did different this time was the distilled water that i used and a new soap. </p>
<p></p>
<p>the wax also lookes clear at some of those spots. Maybe i have to fully clean the globe and try it again.</p>

My Creative Motion "Liquid Metal" lava lamps do this as well. Its kind of annoying but at least they're not as annoying as the Lava World lamps. This is a fault that I can live with.
