<p>This globe can't make up its mind... We have re-attachment after another day cool down...most frustrating lamp ever. A turn of events though! My brother has the same grande and he has come over an oddity. Half of his wax stays un melted at the top no matter how long/hot he runs his lamp, very weird. He contacted LL and is receiving a replacement so we have this oddity to test the magnets on. I am thinking fishing the coil up to halo around the top of this iceberg chunk of wax, pull it down…</p>

I am thinking fishing the coil up to halo around the top of this iceberg chunk of wax, pull it down again and have the magnets hold the floater under the coil to see if maybe a bond within the wax separated.</p>

<p>So as I expected, the wax has once again separated from the coil. I ran it twice with reconnection and this morning it was hovering once again. I have come to expect that from this globe at this point. SO... magnets come tomorrow, haha, I will be testing the theory out once I pick them up. Chances are I will always be doing this dance unless I swap the coil or add another…</p>

<p>So, I have checked the cooled globe now after work, it appears to have completely absorbed the wax back into the coil! <img src="http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad93/ucsycybersmiley/36.gif"></img> (Kinda party time but...it has done this before) So... the magnet approach may have a delay in game if it holds on this next warm up. If it ain't broke I ain't fixing it so, knowing this globe I have a feeling it may go back to empty itself and I will run the magnets but I am going to test their pull on the coil when they arrive, will update…</p>

<p>Quick update: So I had run the lamp under <a href="http://oozinggoo.ning.com/photo/heritage-grande-fixed?context=user" target="_self">Ian's power burn method</a> as I have termed it at this point. This is round two of that method for this globe. </p>

<p>The grande had been simmering for 4 days, hovering over its coil. I turned the lamp off Wednesday evening and allowed the lamp to settle and cool all of Thursday. Thursday evening (last night) I had kicked it back on just under full power and let it run on into the night. I woke this morning to what is seemingly an improved coil connection and flow. Not perfect but the wax was no longer hovering in a docile state. I shut the lamp down before work today and I will check the wax/coil bond this evening when it has hardened. I have a hunch that some of the coil is still empty due to the imperfect flow. The magnets might not have as big a task at this point though.</p> I have fingers crossed.

<p>I have fingers crossed. If it fails I have 4 pretty sweet magnets at least <img src="http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad93/ucsycybersmiley/24.gif"></img> I looked at the cooled puck this evening and still see that wax has embeded itself ito one half of the coil, the other half is still empty inside. Lets just spread those loops a little bit shall we? The wax will most likely penetrate a larger opening. The control could come in as a nice perk, turn the coil into a bubble wand of sorts.<br></br> <br></br> <cite>Joseph White said:…</cite></p>

<p>I will fully document this experiment. I had to order the magnets from Home Depot. They are rare earth cubes made by Magcraft, rated to pull 24lbs. Just recieved confirmation they are shipping to store. Lastnight I verified that the entire circumference of the coil was attracted to a set of smaller magnets so they should REALLY like the 24lbs pulling on them. <img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Grin.gif"></img> <br></br> <br></br> <cite>Tim Gill said:…</cite></p>
