<p>I've had three vintage lamps arrive with wax stuck on the inside of the globe that would not come off no matter how hot I let the lamp run. I had to open each globe and pour out the liquid into a super clean dust free jar or bowl then cover. I then turned the lamp on to allow the wax to melt. I then poured the wax into a separate jar and covered removing the coil but not cleaning it off. I then scrubbed the crap out of the globes and then rinsed with super hot water and allowed to dry…</p>
<p>I've had three vintage lamps arrive with wax stuck on the inside of the globe that would not come off no matter how hot I let the lamp run. I had to open each globe and pour out the liquid into a super clean dust free jar or bowl then cover. I then turned the lamp on to allow the wax to melt. I then poured the wax into a separate jar and covered removing the coil but not cleaning it off. I then scrubbed the crap out of the globes and then rinsed with super hot water and allowed to dry inside completely. I took a little of the original lava fluid that came with the lamp and swished it inside the clean globe and then poured the liquid out leaving just a little on the bottom as in a cap full or less. I then placed cooled wax in the micro for a short period and once melted I poured it back into the lamp and then dropped coil back in allowing the wax to cool around the coil completely. I then poured original lava liquid back in and sealed. Fired them up and all work beautifully now and may I add super clear. I think you should swish original lava lite liquid inside glass before replacing the wax coil and liquid. I would not use any product that did not come with your lamp to begin with as this will alter the original formula provided with original lamp. I've noticed when I don't swish liquid in my lamp before replacing everything...the wax will stick to the sides. I hope this info helps. </p>
