<p>Ryan...Try pouring off the fluid a little at a time and replace with DI water to get a better flow. Keep the fluid you remove in case the flow goes to much the other way !</p>
<p>I've done this a couple of times with flow you described, it doesn't make the wax any more stretchy but should stop it hanging at the top.</p>
<p>Worth a try if you're gonna dump the fluid anyways ! </p>

<p>Meh, it seems the flow on all of them now is floating balls. They definitely seemed more lava - like before. Oh well...can't wait to get the glitter. </p>

<p>You would have to use distilled water, a surfactant, and something to make the water more dense. Some people use epsom salt for this, I prefer to use propylene glycol.</p>

<p>Keith, would it not be easier to just replace the liquid with water if I wanted a clear liquid? I may try that. </p>

<p>I might look into getting that blue wax one and fading it to clear, cause I wants a blue/clear 52!</p>

<p>I think dark water with white wax works well, not so much with other wax colors. One thing you can do is sun fade the globes. By placing them in a sunny window for several days the water color should fade. Keep an eye on them to make sure they don't fade too much! This method takes longer in the winter so it could take a few weeks actually. The good thing is the globes don't look cloudy and the flow looks better than average, and since they are new may get to flowing even better.</p>
