I have an old-ish lava lamp that I love. Recently the electrical cord was damaged so the lamp's no longer safe to use. Can I get the cord replaced, and if so, where can I take the lamp to get it repaired? I don't know whether to look up electricians, or take it to a hardware store, or really where to begin. I don't need advice on a specific store, just generally where I should start looking to find the right person to do a repair like this. Thanks!
Any place that sells and/or repairs lamps (such as "the Lamp Factory) should be able to rewire it for you, or possibly a hardware store.
What type if lava lamp is it? I have a few extra bases lying around, I could send you one for the cost of shipping.
ok, for christmas i got a lava lamp, so its not that old. Well my friend thought it would be funny to let it cool upside down, so now the wax is stuck 2 the top!! i tried letting it sit in hot water, all i accomplished was scolding my hands.. i was told to take of the cap and push the wax, thus un sticking it, but i don't want to do that unless it's the only way.. Thanks!!
I 4got to mention, i left the lamp on for 2 nights in a row, and nothing really happemed. i think like maybe half an inch fell, but i was told its not goos to leave it on for that long..
this is a tough one, try running submerging in very hot water upright in a tall container so that the wax is covered along with the whole bottle, a good sized crock pot should do it if you can't let it stand upright lay it down in the pot let the water get hot, or you can remove the lid and try pushing it, if you do so make sure you can seal it back get a cork from a wine bottle or something so the liquid doesn't dry up, or better yet tell your friend its his and to go buy a new one for you.
