Wax at top? HELP

Okay i have a clear purple century i got a few weeks ago in the mail. It is cloudy, but i'm working on that. The main problem is my wax all going to the top of the globe and just chilling out there. It liquefies and just sits, it occasionally comes down but that is it. It is on a 40 watt bulb, which is the correct wattage. Does anyone know a solution.

Thank you in advance.

I remove the hot glass portion of the lamp from the base and set it on its side. Then I place the base of the lamp with the bulb over the area where the wax has clumped. You will need to prop the lamp up against something so that it stays in place. The wax at the top melts fairly quickly with the combination of the hot glass, water and the heat from the bulb. When you feel it's ready, just put the lamp back together. The clumped portion should now float down to the bottom.
