Turning two 32 oz globes into one 52 oz globe?
Hey fellow lava lovers.I have two 90's 32 oz globes (same color and fluid) that I want to join together and put into a larger 52 oz globeDoes anyone have experience doing this? I don't think I can successfully make this move without hearing about others' experiences doing so- I am most worried about sticking wax. What should I look out for and would you recommend using the straw method (to transfer wax and avoid sticking to glass).See More
"ah, well looks like i'll be replacing it then. I was worried that it might be something like that but hoped there might be something i could do."
"The wax has reached its end of life. Nothing you can do at this point. "
"what about if the wax is filled with bubbles and doing this?1985 century just wont flow, gets full of bubbles and then gets stuck in a column."
"Try kerosene. No more than 1 ML. You will need to remove the master fluid and melt the wax and add it. Kerosene is less dense than water and will float otherwise. Kerosene will break up the flow."
"add a drop or two of SURF (SLES or SLS) or clear hand soap (with minimal ingredients)
It will help break the surface tension"
"Another possible method you may want to attempt is to try running the lamp on a higher wattage bulb. With a higher wattage, the wax will become more hot and rise quicker and may also merge your separated wax back together. Sometimes I run my…"
"Hi Judy,
I have had a similar issue before with one of my 90's lamps. A possible solution to the issue is to boil the wax. It appears that your wax is separated. To do this, you drain the liquid aside while leaving just a little left inside the…"
Flowing column potential fix?
Hi all,I have a century that likes to only flow in a column. No matter how long it stays turned on, we only see that unbreakable column flow.I was wondering if replacing the liquid in this century with different liquid from another USA lamp would change the flow considering the possibly different formula makeup there? Or is the column flow only a wax issue? Any help would be highly appreciated to break the damn thing!(For reference, the century is a 90's lamp and the replacement liquid would…See More
"I need my 1.5 gallons of bad goo I'm sitting on replaced"
"Yes. I need to buy another quart of wax and more dye."
"Absolutely lovely collection, Keith. I too have the ocean floor and lunar lamps displayed together in my collection! I have decided to pair my ocean floor globe with a blue swirl base and it's really beautiful."
"It probably depends on the chlorinated paraffin supplier.Also the owner has a main die-cast business and puts magnatower at the back of the bus when it comes to concern or commitment"
