<p>Yes, it is holding the seal. The original lid had a tapered downward seal that contacted the inner edge of the jar mouth to seal. I cut down a disc from a pill bottle that seems to be like a neoprene type material. I'm sure you could use rubber to cut a gasket from as well. if your jar is extremely imperfect around the top edge, you could use a small amount of silicone sealant with a gasket. </p>

I have one sealing my coach lantern bottle, since you can't see the cap anyway.

I went to a store, and I found a one gallon jug of PINE SOL, and it had a plastic yellow lid that even has a disk in it to help it all seal. I took that lid and it perfectly fits and seals my Lava Lamp. Apparently what I have is the Aristocrat Lave Light. Then I had an extra slip over cover that simply dropped down over the screw on lid, and the whole thing is functional, looks original, and is superior. So everyone should file away that source of the one gallon jugs of Pine Sol - those lids are a perfect fit.</p>
<p></p>
<p>So I will get one more gallon to resolve my second Lava Light, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>now I need one more slip over lid cover</strong></span>. As you can see from the photo, it is smooth and non-threaded. Any color is ok, but my base is a very light faded satin gold color, so that tone would be best, if anyone can find one of these they can spare. I will pay all expenses.</p>
<p></p>
<p>My slip over cover measures 2 5/8" in diameter across the bottom or the widest part. It measures 2" in diameter across the top, which is the narrowest part. The overall height is 1 7/8". A faded satin gold or satin brass color is best, but a satin aluminum color will certainly work - beggars can't be choosey. I hope someone can round one of these up.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks to everyone for all the help, and I hope my findings will help some of the rest of you.</p>
