<p>I bought my daughter a lava lamp at the smithsonian recently and after a few days of use (we did shut it off) the wax is completely hard.

<p><span>8 days ago my friend gave me a Lava Lamp, all was fine until in day 5 after she gave me (or 3 days ago from i wrote this) the wax in the lamp became a bit hardened or something like solidify, i dont know what it is called. However, it still floating up and down again like normal lamp, but the shape was so ugly and not as elastic as before.</span></p>

<p><span>As you guys can see, the wax looks very weird, it seems like the wax has been solidified, it also move slower and slower not as attractive as before. I've search the web and haven't found a way to fix it.</span></p>
<p><span>Btw i never turn the lamp on for more than 8 hours, and always let it rest at least 3 hours.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>Is there any way i can fix this problem?</span></p>

Hai everyone! Just want to say this place is awesome, I never expected to find such massed enthusiasm for Lava Lamps!<br />
<br />

I love my lamp. I rescued it from being thrown away when it's old owner didn't want it anymore. It took me a long time to find just the right lightbulb for it, but once I had that it worked a treat!<br />

It worked just how I expected a lava lamp to for about a month. Then solid bits of the lava started to build against the side of the glass, even when it had been on for ages! I assumed it would melt off and I kept using the lamp. But slowly the mass of static lava has risen up one side of the lamp. Here are some pictures:<br />

I assumed it would be a simple matter of unscrewing the lid and scrubbing the lava off the glass somehow. Two problems though: 1. I don't have any such tool that could do that and 2. The lid won't come off.<br />

I'm probably being a idiot asking for help when I'm trying to fix a lamp that was due for the bin anyway, but I'll never afford a lamp again and I'd really like to keep this one working. Is there any way I can fix this problem wihout having to take the lid off? I'm hoping for an answer like submerge it in hot water or something..<br />
<br />
anyway, any advice would be very very apreciated!!<br />
Thanks everyone!
