Try it again and follow the direction precisely. Including you solution volume and maximum load. It's a proven process. Even a caveman can do it.

CarWiz,
I stand corrected! that's always been one, well I'm sure I have more, problems. I don't read all the directions. In my haste to try something new I always rush it. Oh well, I always try and assemble something and only read the directions when I can't figure it out. Thanks CarWiz for reminding me to follow the directions, LOL.
