  • Thanks for reminding me I have a lava lamp lurking somewhere.

    I'm not that way reclined

    Jewelry? Seriously? Sheldon you are the most shallow, self-centered person I have ever met. Do you really think that another transparently-manipu... OH, IT'S A TIARA! A tiara; I have a tiara! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me!

    awesome the original instructions i found (when i pickup the search about every 6months)were difficult to make head nor tail of. Glad someone has finally made it clear!
    the only think that concerns me is that it appears to only be to change the water and thus prevent it from being cloudy, not 'fix' the wax. anyone have any ideas / advice or more importantly experience?
    unless i can just replace the wax...hmm. first things first see if the top comes off.
    right ill drop a few emails off and run a few bits and bobs tonight / tomorrow and report back on what my plan is.
    your all stars!

  • Just a thought, but drain it and try a hair dryer to heat the wax in the bottom to see if you can get them to reform as one lump? Just have a funnel handy to get the fluid back in.

    Any idea how to get the two blobs (separated- top flooding, bottom) to mix correctly to get it back to original mix / so it works?

    update: just waiting on email replies from mathmas and thorhammer.
    Finally any idea how to identify if it's a screw top or one use sealed. Don't want to open it up before i get replies.
