1970's Century 100 Lava Lite Wax Problems

[Judy Streit]

Good Afternoon

Hoping that someone could give me some advice as to how to fix my lamp. The wax stays up at the top. I have a 40 watt bulb and I ran it your over 4 hours with no luck. I would appreciate any input I could get as to how to fix this problem.

Thanks Much
