<p>Once it is cool, add distilled water to the globe. Would go to 3/4's full and if anything that should cause the lava to drop down more, try it and see what happens. Have you added any epsom salts to it yet?</p>

<p>If there is still wax on the bottom, when the upper portion is hanging up there it is separated and the two have to come together, if this can not happen then might have to throw a goo kit in it or change to a glitter lamp. Keep at it, am sure it will come together. Make sure when you mix it again and let it cool down, IF you did add epsom salts to water you dump that out and start with fresh distilled water with cooled lava.

Then place back on base and turn it on the wax can not be lighter than the fresh distilled water, it has to spike then melt and come down.

<p>I just put two straws together and swirled it a few times to ensure I got them to mix together, or like a skewer something the width of a pop cicle stick, my straws were a little larger than a regular straw. Once it is all melted should stir rather easily and mix together well. Then let it cool down, then add your distilled water to a little over half way to the top, place back on the lamp base heat it up again and see where the wax ends up.

Then let it cool down, then add your distilled water to a little over half way to the top, place back on the lamp base heat it up again and see where the wax ends up. See if your wax will start rising and falling, if it sits on the bottom of the globe then put the fully saturated hot water with epsom salt mix in just a little bit at a time till your wax begins to rise. Little at a time is better than too much.</p>
