<p>Well it didn't work. I worked till 5 am and it never got a flow going. I turned it back on this morning and started to added more Epson salt today (even though I'm convinced it shouldn't need this much) and it's still not flowing. Now it's back to just all sticking to one side and when I turn it off all of the lava actually sticks again too :(</p>

<p>The amount of the solution depends on the concentration</p>
<p>I keep a squeeze bottle prepped by the lab bench<br/>Yes, you add a touch til you fil it, if it isn't enough flotation by then, remove some fluid and replace it with more salt solution</p>
<p>You also have to let it heat back up between each time you add</p>

<p>The lava did end up sticking. I was just feeling hopeless and impatient. I have been trying to fix it everyday this week. Lol</p>
<p>I just added the distilled water and soap about 30 min ago.</p>
<p>I noticed at the end of your instructions you say "if necessary... add Epson salt solution"</p>
<p>Did you mean you don't think it will be necessary?</p>
<p>If so how much do you recommend?</p>

<p>you have the globe filled now right"?<br/>No lava should have stuck if the globe was coated.<br/>If you want, you can send it to me and I'll redo it for you and ship it back within 2 days or less<br/>What color is the lava?</p>

<p>I wish I would have read your recommendation about the funnel before I had put the lava back in the bottle but I didn't. </p>
<p>I have to say, I don't really have a lot of hope for this. The lava just seems so watery and there's an awful lot of bubbles in the globe from coating the side. I only put 2 small drops. Will it be okay to run a small amount of hot water down the side to get the lava residue now again stuck to loosen?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Sorry for all the negativity and venting.</p>
