<p>when you change out the fluid, premix a 70/30 mix and tweak it from there once it heated</p>
<p>make sure your not near a AC vent or fan</p>

<p>so this is an up date on the 32 oz lava lite and i would like to get some feed back before i begin on this again. so after adding hand soap for surf in my lava lamp and adding 1 ml of pg ever 15-20 the whole day i failed to get the wax to rise. so im starting again. if i can get some some step by step help that would be super awesome. </p>

<p>I would mix the surf with the distilled water before adding to the globe, but if you have the distilled already in the globe you can add the surf. </p>

<p>Oh ok so you add the surf at any point? Because im going to use a hand soap for surf called softsoap. I hope it works. Thanks for the reply </p>

<p>Keep adding the PG. I would use at least a half ounce or more at a time until you start getting results, then you can use smaller amounts to dial in the flow you want. You didn't mention a surfactant so I will also say you should have that in at the start, at least some. Surf will affect the size of the globs so you might need to adjust that also but definitily should have surf to keep the wax from sticking to the sides of the globe.</p>
