<p>My cap just sits on top. I've never had a problems with it. I haven't any idea how old the lamp is. I've had it since about 2008.</p>
<p>I've been trying to twist the base to loosen the globe, but 1. I'm afraid of breaking off the fins, 2. It's very difficult to get a good grip on the globe.

<p>Hiya,</p>
<p>I have no idea why it's attached to the base! Mine always just sat on top of the base. I also have no tags anymore for what kind of model this is. I was told on this forum that it was from Spencer's and called Molten Motion. Since I couldn't find this anywhere on the internet, I'd like to see if yours is the same as mine. As for me, I have the opposite problem...I can't get the plastic top off! It used to come off... ugh. So, if I need to fix my lava, it's going to be really…</p>

<p>Thanks for your response! The lava definitely got past the neck and kinda consolidated into a smaller amount all the way to the top. When I put the towel on there, it got super hot. Left it on for 3-4 hours and turned it off. The lava just stayed there. It looks like there is a bit more lava at the bottom now, as I can't see the coils anymore.... plus some weird dark small globs of lava hanging out on the bottom.
