I start with 2 -6 inch pieces of gold wire , I take the bottom 2 inches
and fold it back and twist it. I then take these 2 wires and rub them
back and forth against each other . The ridges from  the twists cause
repeated sparking , after about 5 minutes of doing this the adapter
shuts itself off from heating up . You should have tyndal, let your
machine cool off ( 5-10 minutes ) and repeat until you get a strong
laser beam through your glass.
Me thinks distilled water woud be best.

hi tom,
how do you arc the gold wires underwater? can they  touch, or do they
need to be spaced apart so that 
they create an electrical arc underwater?
is distilled water best for making cg too?
the more i hear about colloidl minerals, the more impressed i am.

regards,
Dennis   :-)
