<p>I just got my hands on Triton X-100, before I used SLES. So far no success, used 5 drops of Triton (small drops) in a Mathmos Jet bottle with wax from a new bottle. Still just one big round blob going up and down. I'll try to use more Triton X-100, but at some point I think the wax color will start to leak into the fluid like it did previously with too much SLES.<br></br> <br></br> <cite>Claude J said:…</cite></p>
