I think burping it is the stage were to run it for the first time with the lid off to release any

trapped air which will come up to the surface. When no more bubbles, you put the cap back

on, maybe a light ring of silicone cement to keep the cap in place.

you can, but I like to make sure the coil is in good shape first, because you can make a new one if the coil is bad.. there is a forum for that too. Lowes sells springs that are real close to the same as the coil in there. u just got to shape it in a circle and plop it in

Oh, how come you need to remove the coil?

Cant you just pour your boiling water in there and that will clean them?

after getting the cap off carefully.. there is a step by step thread somewhere about the cap. you emtpy the liquid. then put lamp on the stand and warm up the wax till its liquid, then pour it out.

get a metal coat hanger, and make it one long hook, and slowly take the coils out. becarefull the coils are delicate, and if you warp them they arre useles.

take boiling hot water and pour some in  and swish it around. make sure you use pot holders so you wont burn urself.

very light, until you use the black light, If you want a lil more green in the wax, i would use less than a pinkie nail. of green dye then add the florescent

Cool, thanks, I ordered some fluorescent blue, and a green one as well.

What do you think green would look like?

 

One question, how did you clean all the old goo out of your Grande?

Comment by Don Souliere on February 19, 2011 at 2:56pm

I used about a half a dime sized amount of blue dye from magma towers, and then one whole container of florescent blue dye after that

I have to give Rick credit for the idea. he had already made one

Wow! I like that.

What color mix did you use to get that?
