<p>Anyhow might as well give a proper response on the topic.. The lamp has been fixed, as i just continued to rinse it and after a few more tries i stopped sticking completely, so there is no problems anymore!<br/><br/>Once again thanks for the help to everyone ! :-) </p>

Warning. I tried foil wrapping to solve the sticking wax problem on 2 old lamps I had. Worked okay on one but the other... the top blew off and caused a mess on walls and ceiling.( red wax white ceiling and walls). Luckily no one was close by when it occurred. Crazy clean up and now I need to paint. Grrrr. I recommend using this method with extreme caution!! The globes had never been tampered with prior to applying the foil in case someone suspects improper seal.

<p>If there's nothing wrong with your wax and you're using enough surfactant, then I suspect you still have a microscopically-thin film of wax coating the inside of the globe, and all that boiling water you added probably only made it worse.</p>

<p>If there's nothing wrong with your wax and you're using enough surfactant, then I suspect you still have a microscopically-thin film of wax coating the inside of the globe, and all that boiling water you added probably only made it worse.</p>
<p></p>
<p>My advice is to empty out the globe again, and once you've washed/scrubbed it out inside as best you can, go after it with a sponge-on-a-stick and some abrasive cleaner; I used <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bon-04030-Cleaning-Powder-12-Ounce/dp/B000BQYBC6/" target="_blank">Bon Ami</a>, and it seemed to work. Scrub the inside of the glass with a paste of that until your arms threaten to fall off, then wash and rinse it again like you've never rinsed before. Don't use a green scrubby pad or a plastic-bristled brush or you risk scratching the glass.</p>
<p></p>
<p>For good measure, once you have the bottle clean and rinsed and ready to refill, bake it in an oven at 450F for a couple hours. Don't preheat the oven, and don't remove the globe until you've turned it off and the oven has cooled. This *should* be enough to drive off any remaining wax molecules from the surface of the glass. Be sure to clean your fingerprints off the outside of the bottle!</p>
<p></p>
<p>And if ALL else fails, you can clean the inside of the bottle with sodium hydroxide (drain cleaner). Rinse it with distilled water about 10 times, then rinse with acetone, then bake it, then add your liquid+surf, then add your wax. <strong>Consider this a last resort</strong> though, because sodium hydroxide WILL etch glass if it's hot or too concentrated. It's also corrosive in an excruciating turn-your-skin-into-soap kind of way.</p> Jus
