<p>If you do replace the bottle you lose half the value of your lamp from the get go and most serious collectors may not want to buy at all. My suggestion - Purchase another lamp with the same liquid and wax and do a goo and liquid swap so your keeping original glob and LavaLite original formula. The caps on these lamps can easily be opened gently using a bottle opener and a capper and to reseal original bottle cap to globe use a bottle capper - they run 8.00. Then you have all original once…</p>

As is expect the lamp to sale for 175.00 plus depending on the day and 25.00 to ship in the good ole' USA.</p> Hi Everyone, yes the photo is…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2021-04-25:1566398:Comment:8426042021-04-25T14:59:12.172ZDarrenhttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/Darren522

<p>The lava can take 1-2 hrs to start moving. I’ve never had a crestworth so I can’t say for certain.</p>
<p></p>
<p>as far as I know, the Astro bottles will fit (look under “spares and repairs” on the Mathmos website). Don’t chuck the old bottle though.</p>
<p></p>
<p>It may be worth getting a new bulb too incase that’s what’s causing the issue. I’m sure someone with more experience with the lanterns will be able to give you better advice</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Thanks for the reply. <br/><br/></p>
<p>Would you know roughly how old it is?</p>
<p>also the light works but the lava just stays solid, how long would it usually take to start melting/moving? Sorry don't know the technical terms for it. <br/><br/></p>
<p>if I wanted to replace the bottle would that be possible? <br/><br/></p>
<p>thanks </p>
