<p>I've fought with this problem a lot with my homemade coils for my homemade lamps. For me, it seemed to be that the wire gauge I was using to turn into coils was a little too thick. I've switched to a higher-gauge 316 stainless spring steel wire and they've all worked great so far.</p>

<p>Hey D, do you have a smaller coil? someone thing that would fit in between the bigger one? or maybe you can try to make one of those, smaller in diameter, like it came form a fireflow bottle. Or maybe a piece of screen?</p>

<p><br/>Looks very nice.. Is there any difference in the green one compared to the others? The wax in that lamp looks more "balloonish" than the others if you know what i mean.. Which is the way i want it :)</p>

<p>The first run, the goo will be transparrent. It looks really cool actually, and from the second run on it will become opaque. All pictured are goo kits.</p>

<p>Wow that lamp look stoast anyways lol ! Gookit starts off transparent and eventually turn more solid the longer they run, the lighter colors tend to allow more light to come thru then darker colors do.</p>
