Fly in the Goo!

[Tracey Bailey]

Hey all! I have an old Century lamp with a cracked lid.

The wax is original, but not the water. I have a mixture of distilled water and epson salt. (yes I know, bad. Will probably replace while fixing this problem)

I took the lid off to take measurements and pictures so I could 3d print a new one.

While it was off, a fly flew into my lamp. It was cold at the time and I didn't notice.

Later I returned the cracked lid and turned on the lamp and noticed the fly in the lava blobbling around.

So, I guess I need to filter the lava somehow? Maybe run the lamp and try to snatch it out the lava from the top? Empty the globe, heat the wax on the stove and filter through a screen? 

Junk it all and get new liquid and wax?

Thanks!

I once had a large lamp that was filled with a bunch of dead baby hornets. I picked them all out with tweezers and it was fine. You can replace the liquid with a One Shot Vintage kit from ozonegifts.com. It's a replica formula and should restore it back to its original condition.
