Take the top off carefully, try not to bend it. After filtering the lamp put a small amount of gasket sealant on the inside ring of the lid. Not the whole lid....just where it sits down on the glass. Put very little or it will squeeze out into the lamp. Then have a friend push down on the top while your crimp the metal cap back under the lip like it was before you took it off. Let it sit without running for 48 hrs to let the gasket sealant cure. Now you are good to go. I have done two grandes like this and (knock on wood) neither one of them leaks.<br/> "Bert"<br/> 6-ft-under.com</div>

Please tell me that you soaked your filter BEFORE using it... also, the wax needs to be cold before attempting, or you'll ruin the filters.

I allowed the one cloudy lamp I had to cool down to room temperature so that the wax was was all in one blob at the bottom of the globe.<br />
<br />
I then tried to filter the "clear" liquid portion and was able to clear about 1/2 of it before the filter clogged up totally.<br />
<br />
I poured the remaining unfiltered portion into another container.<br />
<br />
I then tried the replacement filter and it clogged up very quickly as well.<br />

So, I am out the lamp, a $14.99 PUR pitcher and 2-stage filter, as well as a second replacement 2-stage filter (cost about $6.88) for a total of about $21 or so plus tax and my lamp is has about 1/2 of its fluid left.<br />
<br />
What a mess !!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I thought everyone should know that the PUR filter method will NOT work with every cloudy lamp and is an expensive experiment if things don't work as planned.<br />

I found one at Wal-Mart tonight for $14.99 and bought one extra 2-stage filter for it. Have you been able to rinse yours out after each use or do you just keep using the filters until the finally stop up ?
