<p>While I understand, the screw caps on both my bottles came off so easily I was surprised. A rubber oven mit with bottle on the carpet and voila a quick even turn and voila. The crimps are easy but the large openings in the old bottles make for much easier cleaning and drying.</p>

<p>Screw caps were done away with to protect against lawsuits in the event someone opened and ingested the contents. Or so it has been said. It's actually easier to open the crimped caps than most of the screw caps, lol. </p>

<p>Okay so I found an article here how to take off the cap, a thick rubber oven mit on the carpet and voila off in two seconds. Black century bottle now clean and drying. Then of to the next one.</p>

<p>These bottles are of awesome quality, I must say!</p>

<p>Okay, so here is where we stand as of right now.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The black century, wax is totally shot, it's completely molten and sits perfectly level at the base with no movement. If you take the bottle off and move it around, the lava kinda reminds of one of those wave lamps. It moves freely around the bottom like ultra thin fluid and then it settles down perfectly level at the bottom. So, this lamp, the bottle will be cleaned and either converted to glitter and or put away for a future…</p>

So, this lamp, the bottle will be cleaned and either converted to glitter and or put away for a future gookit. The base in the mean time will be used for one of my glitter lamps currently be using on a crappy modern base.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Silver century, wax again is totally shot and complete seperated. Molted portion doing nothing at the bottom and huge clump of wax simply floating at the top. Since I am not interested in trying to reincorporate the two portions, same will happen as lamp above.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Silver streak lamp with #10 bottle. verdict is out but kinda half working at the moment, the red wax color is nice, will keep if works, will use for parts if not.</p>
<p></p>
<p>China bullet lamps. Yellow one, wax shot, already cleaned out bottle. These lamps could make for nice glitter lamps so I will convert this to glitter eventually. Red wax model, working nicely right now but not sure if I will keep as lava or convert to glitter as fluid is semi cloudy.</p>
<p></p>
<p>So, there you have it. I assume most of the lamps have been well used which is fine as there is plenty here to keep one way or the other.</p>

<p>Claude, thanks</p>
<p></p>
<p>By the way, those two lamps on the right are older than I thought, both dated on the bottom 2001. They might be okay, will get those going later as well.</p>
