I bought a 12 ounce Clear View yesterday, but it seems the base of the globe doesn't get warm enough. The wax just sits in the bottom in a glob that appears to have a "crust" of some sort. The outside of the base gets VERY hot, but it seems the clear plastic base doesn't conduct enough heat. Would a metal washer help? Thanks for any ideas!

Possablie a mettle washer could work or you could try adding some kitchen foil to the inside to the base to make a reflector for the heat.
Thanks, Tim. I am trying foil, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. The globe isn't HOT like my other globes seem to be. I can hold it by the bottom without issue.
What bulb are you using in it - thats probably the issue.
Thats not the right bulb - a 30w R39 bulb would work.
Tim, really?? I can try it, but that seems pretty large for a 12 ounce. My 20 ounce only uses a 25 watt. Thanks for your thoughts.
I read it wrongly I thought you had a 32oz clear view, I think a 25w bulb would work better then.
