What do I do if bubbles flow from only 3 spots?

Try soaking the stone for a few hours they you have to turn up you air volume

Your problem is most likely that you don't have sufficient air pressure to feed the bubble wand. I have an air flow control valve on my line and when the air flow is restricted (Reducing pressure to the wand) it only bubbles from afew spots.

Make sure the small white tube is lined up with the opening. It should flow over the side but not too strong.

There is a spray that comes in the package. You moisten both sides of the shield when applying. Then you use the scraper tool to take out the bubbles the best you can. It will tell you that the remaining bubbles will work themselves out in a day or two and it is true.

Written instructions come in the packet, along with this link to this youtube video. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xEl9hqZRJd4The video was very helpful, along with the tip to combine bubbles together to form several large bubbles before squeezing them out. Removing tiny bubbles is a pain, but after mushing tiny bubbles together to form one large bubble, removing the one large one was a snap.

Try putting it in the bath tube under water and see if there is bubbles coming out

It's a great system, and the pumps make mixing a no-brainer...but Charles' comment about the bubbles is true. I used it to fill cracks in knot holes. I dripped it into the cracks and continued until it was about 1/16" above the surface of the wood. After letting it set for about 8 hours, I sanded flush, and in many cases, there were holes in the surface caused by bubbles. They weren't large - about 1/32" or so - but they were there. I'd love to find out how to avoid the bubbles...

I have them in a pond with 2 Tetrapod aerators with 2 outlets each and "tees" and valves supplying 6 stones. The ones that are on the least pressure have very small bubbles. The ones that have a lot of pressure have small AND large bubbles. You should have a valve to trim the output of the aerator anyway. I don't think you will find smaller bubbles out of a stone.

Water can get inside the bubble underneath. Just dry it with the tip of a paper towel after cleaning. Better to do these by hand.

Shake it/tap on table to remove air bubbles and excess water, then do prints. If it doesn't look right, you can always smooth it out and start over/let it sit awhile.

I had the same problem until I read the instructions again. You have to soak the bubble wall section in water for 15 minutes or so before turning on the air pump for the bubbles. This lets the material swell up enough for air to escape.

You might try pumping less... or take a needle to the spray hole at both the entry and exit points to make sure there is no obstruction. You could also try boiling the spray tip with dish soap to clean it out.

In the water tank, make sure both the supply tube and the air check valve are clear. You can use a straw or piece of aquarium tube to blow air through the supply tube(the male tube). If the water tank is half full it should bubble. Put the straw in the hole(air valve) next to the supply tube. If the cap is on the tank, water should squirt out of the supply tube. My air valve hole was plugged. I cleaned/opened it with a plastic tooth pick. It feels like there is a rubber check valve in there. If it is plugged, I believe it creates a vacuum in the tank and prevents water feeding up the supply tube. Worked fine after I did this.

I can only use one of the 3. The rest are too small. I would recomend having bigger spots.

I would not recommend that as even I'm not sure what would happen if you were to remove it. However, I had the same concern during the first few days as well. Don't worry, the bubbles will disappear soon enough.

I recently purchased this product too and had the same problem initially. The bubble would just build up or bunch up until they got so big they would spill out the side of the ladder. It eventually started working more reliably. I think there is a coating from manufacturing that initially prevents the bubble from moving up the ladder. You can try using a soft sponge and dish detergent to wash the ladder or just let the bubbles action start working on its own the longer the ladder is in the water and the residue is removed on its own. The only other problem with this simple system is that the yeast fermentation mixture only lasts about two weeks for me and does not produce CO2 for 28 days mentioned in the instructions.

Make sure both pumps on top are working. They turn on independently every 6 seconds or so. Also you can use tongs or chop sticks to make sure all bubbles are off jellies. They do bunch up everyonce in a while till other pump kicks in and separates them;)

Just get a sponge and soapy water and coat all connected parts (hoses and regulators). You should be able to see a bubble forming where the leak is coming from in your system.
