<p>You are welcome! Sadly, replacement screw caps are not readily available. I have been a member here for 6 years and have only seen caps offered 2 or 3 times that I can recall. At this point, with the cap already showing signs of deterioration it might be better to get a substitute cap and hope an original becomes available.</p>

<p>Those were both very helpful. I'll definitely try the epoxy thing. I'm glad if nothing else I can get a cap for it. I've noticed they don't seem to sell caps seperate from the bases though, is there somewhere I can get one if I can't fix the one I have?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks for the info LampHead. If I should lose any liquid I can top it off with distilled water right? Not that I want that to happen but if worse comes to worse.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Well, I took the base off and there was nothing there to say the year or anything else for that matter. All that is on it is the two stickers that say what wattage bulb to use and the inspection sticker. So I guess it's a mid nineties model. Would explain why the lava is still in such good shape and the liquid is mostly clear. It has a bit of a gold tinge to it but not cloudy at all. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Oh, and I'm not sure if I mentioned the cap is starting to get brittle. When I was doing the quick patch job I rubbed some crumbly plastic off the edges of the break line, it's how a accidentally lost a chunk. Do you think it would be worth fixing?</p>

You could then use a metal cover from a newer lava lamp over that. Or you could come up with some other decorative cover. At least you would have a cap that you know seals the globe.</p>
