<p>They usually do not go away on their own and will make it float</p>

<p>I had read on some goo kit instructions that I was to shake the surf around the bottle/coil then pour it out and set it aside. </p>

<p>Okay I'll try that. I just turned it back on and it's floating back at the top...</p>
<p>Also when doing option two, do I add any surf at the end and should I remove the coils or leave them in place?</p>

<p>Could be a couple of things - first - you mentioned doing the process over 6 times which may have deluded some of the chemicals in the wax each time you heated the the liquid and poured out to restart the process over again. Each time you do this it will have some effect on the wax. I'm also guessing that it may be a bad batch since I've had magma goo for years and every time I use it it still works fine.
