<p>This has happened with standard bulbs when lamp was located too close to a room's heat source</p>

<p></p>
<p>NOTE: You need to cap it COLD</p>
<p>Cap it hot and the rubber plug will get sucked into the globe when it cools</p>

<p>Also, some members here have experienced this with their colossus's in the past</p>

<p>CAP THE LAMP PROPERLY AND QUIT TRYING TO JURY RIG IT</p>

<p>Well, here is what i did. I mixed the epoxy for a good 20 seconds. Already had the hose clamp loose on the metal cap. Used a qtip to apply a liberal amount of epoxy on the interior of the cap all round on the vertical portion. Put the cap on, turned it back and forth several times, Tightened the hose clamp and let it sit for an hour. Then took off the clamp and used the claw side of the hammer, pushing up against the cap lid to bend it back down under the neck.</p>

<p></p>
<p>The only problem I see is that the small rip in the vertical portion bent up a little when tightening the clamp. So I took a hammer after it was all cured and gently tapped it back down.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I guess there is nothing left to but to try the lamp tomorrow after work and hope it does not turn into a volcano and blow its top.</p>

<p>After you mix the glue, use a popsicle stick or foam brush (something flat) and just evenly scrape the glue to the edge of the upside down cap. It will be the fastest way. </p>
<p>When you put the cap on, spin it back and forth to spread the glue evenly, then start tapping down the edge. </p>
<p>You get too particular with application of glue, will will use up your 5 min setting time.</p>

<p>Keith: If you did not epoxy your caps on what did you use??</p>
<p>All I used, which I mentioned at the beginning of this post is distilled water and 37 to 38 ml of surf. That's is :)</p>
<p></p>
<p>Claude, with regards to the epoxy. I'll do the best I can, if I can't get the edge bent down under the neck again. I'll epoxy the veriticle surfaces first, then make a new batch next day, use a small brush or qtip apply under the lip then bend down the edge of the cap.</p>

<p>I wish I had a surefire method for resealing a grande for you. Mine is sealed but I don't like the bulky clamp (it doesn't let the cap fit right). Claude has been quite successful with his method.</p>
<p>Did you use any PG at all? You don't mention using any.</p>
<p>It looks really good!!</p>
