<p>so...My lamp is pretty much full with a little room left. The lava domes, a little floated to the top and won't come down. I turned it on and the lava streamed up like normal but then went back down and just stays domed. With the exception of the the small amount that stays on top. </p>

<p>Jumping in hear, what I would do would be to keep adding the fog fluid and DI water to it but making sure it keeps the dome so a bit at a time but you may not need to keep it to a 50 / 50 ratio depends on how it reacts. </p>

Yes i did. I let it all turn to liquid with no water let ut harden, filled the water half way and warmed it up again. And now some chunks are floating in the solid state

<p>so I have the bottle half filled with water....most of the wax stayed on the bottom but some rose up. I need to empty the water and refill, correct?</p>

<p>(1) Wait for everything to cool down,</p>
<p>(2) dump the fluid, and</p>
<p>(3) leave the wax and coil in the lamp.</p>
<p>(4) fill 25% with some distilled water with a couple drop of the bubble solution,</p>
<p>(5) dump the water bubble solution rinse out</p>
<p>(6) Turn on the lamp and melt the wax back into a single solid (there should just be wax and coil in the lamp)</p>
<p>(7) Let cool and Rinse again - you should have a single piece of wax formed on the bottom</p>
<p>(8) Fill it 50% with distilled water and confirm that the wax is still sitting on the bottom to confirm that the wax has not been compromised and still has an SG > 1.0</p>
<p>(9) Getting the SG balance takes patience which is something most people really don't have.</p>
<p>(10) After step 8, let the lamp cool - you do not want to add the fog fluid when the lamp is hot or it can do al kinds of not so fun stuff</p>
<p>(11) Add a half cup of the fog juice and let it heat up - is the wax forming a dome? If not then let it cool and ad more fog juice; if you get to the top of the bottle with this method and still no dome; let it cool and dump out half the fluid and add fog juice until you dome.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Keep in mind that more fog juice will make your wax "relatively" lighter - i.e. make it float easier; more distilled water will make it "relatively" heavier which will keep it lower.</p>
<p></p>
<p>You may want to add a drop of those bubble to your initial distilled water to ensure that the wax does not stick to the globe but do not add any more until you get a nice dome. Too much surf (bubbles for you) will result in a hundred small blobs and the only way to fix that is to start over in my experience.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Based on your earlier posts it looks like the specific gravity of the fog fluid is too high so it makes your wax too light (relative to each other - wax to fluid). Glycern has an SG of ~1.3 and prop glycol is only 1.04... so if the fog juice is 50/50 water to glycerine it has an SG of about 1.15 (1+1.3)/2 as compare to the PG fog juice which is closer to 1.02 (1.04 +1)/2 (distilled water is SG=1.0).</p>
