I only tried that once, when I had misplaced my coil. It failed miserably, but I'm not sure whether the screen was the cause. I cut the screen into a rectangle, folded it longways into a 'W', and then flattened the sides so that only one peak stood in a spike.

Talking about goo kit..do you use the metal screen as subtitute for coil?
If yes,how do you cut it into an oblong shape like in the instruction?

I like the clear liquid with this one though. :p

And it's kinda weird how the exact orange that this is, seems to be invisible to my camera, but as long as the color looks good in person I'm happy,

I actually wound up having to redo this one YET AGAIN. Yes, the 4th time. But I learned a lot! For instance, I learned to be patient. The first time you run a goo kit is WEIRD...just leave it alone and let it do its thing. Like I was told, it takes several cycles for a kit to "set" with the water and coil. I also learned to do everything right the first time...don't redo the water later. That's why I'm redoing the orange again. :(

Oh...and I also learned to make sure that the markers I use to color the water aren't color-changing markers. I love the color of my other custom job, but it's acting peculiar.

I used a magma tower goo kit. I've since redone the water in this, and it looks MUCH clearer! The new pictures show off the orange color a little better.

Red/clear wax is the hardest combination to capture..

what kind of goo did you use?
