this is what happens when you heat a lamp directly in a pot of boiling water on the stove

Thanks Scott.  No it was not capped and only to melt the wax to pour it out.  I should have known better I was in a hurry.   Will go much slower and use a plate next one.  It takes some time to melt the wax down, I'll be more patient!

I don't know how to edit the previous comment to tell you that it was Philip Quinn back in November 2004.

Just be patient and heat it up naturally (on a base). Someone died back in 2004 from heating his lamp directly on the stove. No need to risk life or lava lamp just for a faster result.

I'm embarrassed to say how many times that has happened to me. LOL

I heat in the microwave now, so far works great.

sorry about your globe...

Medium, medium high, and put a plate in the pot so the globe dose not directly contact the pot

Ouch! This is why I prefer heating my goo on it's base. May take longer but no cracking. Sorry that happened. :(
