I have a problem with my lava lamp. A few days ago I noticed that the spring had come out of its place and I would really like to know if there is any way to repair it. The lava lamp was a gift from my brother and I don't want to replace it :(

👏great analysis, you are a good scientist! 👍

The second flow is much more like a proper Mathmos lamp. I have added dish soap before with great results. Still flowing with no cloudiness.

Thank you. I appreciate how you used what was readily available. I have a project in mind but don't have a lot to invest upfront

Mathmos lamps are amazing. I have ones I got second hand around 10 years ago that are still going strong!

Just use a hairdryer i did that it works

Bad idea. Lava lamp water is carefully tuned, and soap (surfactant) is a key ingredient. Adding a whole bunch of dish soap will not only upset the delicate balance but also introduce fragrance, dye, and other impurities that may cloud the water. Two better alternatives: - Use a shapable implement such as a wire coat hanger to simply scrape the wax from the glass. - Bring to operating temp, empty, and save the contents. Clean inside using whatever means, making sure not to leave contaminants, and replace contents. In either case, the cap must be secure (not loose as it appears here) to prevent evaporation of both water and another chemical used to make the wax less buoyant. At one time this was thought to be tetrachloroethylene, however modern lamp wax doesn't have that smell. Running for an extended period isn't great for the wax, but is often all that's needed to clean the glass. Avoid opening if possible.

how to get the wax that has harden at the top loose?

Please fix it! I absolutely loved this video, I'm a lava lamp lover as well and have like 6 of them. I've been looking for a cost-effective way to fix my lamps for a while now and you've really helped!! ❤

I really like the way you presented in this video, thank you for your dedication and quality...,

Here a great hint 4 u -- stay off the music

Thanks for saving me, also. I gave up with my large pliers as I couldn't believe the force I was putting in w/o results. After selecting a 19 and 17mm spanners I was set. Well done.

My lava lamp I got it recently and it is very clumpy and it was store bought I don't really know what to do. The clump is at the bottom of the lamp.

i have mathmos lamp and this muddy shit with overpriced cost , dont recomend buy anyone this shit

I left mine on too long and isn’t working anymore

I. am. obsessed with this video!😱🤩🫶🏻 I could watch you for days cleaning lava lamps oh my god. You executed such a well thought-out plan, doing every step very careful I had no idea how tf one would execute this.. elaborate plan haha, but right from the start it was clear you got this quest under control and I thought that the way you walked through the whole proces and the additional narrated information was really easy to understand, interesting and clear to follow; not too fast or anything. And it was also very well timed, I love when that happens hahah Thank you for the video! Very interesting to see, I love it ^>^ Please make a new one whenever new debris floats around again! Haha

Se non ti piace l'effetto "a colonna' puoi cambiare l'acqua completamente, utilizzando il procedimento con acqua distillata, sale e densimetro

Next time just use a sawyer filter and you'll make the cloudy master fluid pretty much crystal clear. Appreciate the information though and taking us through the ups/downs of the process.

I love the trials and errors!

Hi, which type of a paraffine wax are you using here? I try to use "cosmetic" clear type of a paraffine and without pigmentation he is absolutly ideal cristal clear like a water in lamp)

Conclusion : just a buy a fucking Mathmos X'-D

Mine partially melts but then some of the wax goes to the top and solidifies

I still don’t understand how to read thevthumbnail

using emoji as subtitles during the summary and recap were honestly a gamechanger. it turns normal facts into almost like a game

Man that was an awesome watch.

Nice Video,nice Guy😮

I loved the video! The amount of work you’ve put into it is incredible, and all the information you’ve shared is so valuable. I recently bought a Schylling 2125 lamp, and so far, I’m really happy with it-it’s my first lava lamp. But if I ever need to repair it, now I know how to do it. Thank you so much!

Razor face should be up

number 4 is about the only stage my lava lamp has ever reached

Hi there! I was searching for lava lamp recipes that don’t require tetrachloroethylene, because I’m a bit worried about the toxicity (especially when experimenting in a kitchen where I also cook food). I couldn’t find many alternative recipes, but this seems to be one! I was wondering, did you use anything to color the dimethicone? And is the liquid just water + surfactant? Thanks a lot!

I had a 4mm thick disc of borosilicate glass cut for mine. The glass disc goes in first before the bottle, and sits on top of the metal support ring. Then the bottle goes in on top of the glass disc, so I've effectively got a transparent hotplate instead of direct candle heat. This allows me to use the official mathmos candles without overheating for a steadier operation. However the "official" candles are simply a tea light with a thicker wick like a normal candle, so I just buy cheap tea lights and replace the wicks with thicker wick I bought in Amazon for a few quid. The tea lights come with holes in the wax centres, and the wick simply pulls out through the middle for easy replacing before first burn.

When wax mix heated for temperature that make him transparent liquid is not bad for wax? I mean in lamp wax is smoky and hazy but when you melt him on oven - its more heat temperature

19:00 yeah no idea what the brownish red stuff is, anyway look how rusty the spring was😂🤡

What about reesembly, do you have to glue the top again ? Or is it good enough to just screw it on tight ?

Спасибо за информацию, я так и не понял почему моя лампа не обладает такой текучестью, кажется неисправна пружинка

The wax reminds me of an Apple for some reason

I just realized I messed up the order of the cups compared to the explanatory drawing in the top left. The order on the fabric should be correct though, at least I remember with certainty that the dark yellow cup actually is the 6-months-old one.

Noone offers stronger incandescent bulbs anymore

I appreciate all the effort you put into this how to video. Honestly, I have no idea what you did with panty hose and coffee filters and all the rest. Today, I emptied out the cloudy water from my lava lamp. I used boiled water (distilled water) and I poured it back in. It is like brand new again and it took under 5 minutes. Not a flex, I swear.

Lol imma just buy a new one at this point

I have the problem where, as soon as the wax starts to melt, it goes to the top and most of it stays there. I don't see how overheating can be to blame, but I also tried using a dimmer switch. All that did was make it take longer to start melting and once it did, what does melt stays at the top and the rest at the bottom. I wonder if it's underheated as there's very little motion with the wax that does move. Otherwise, I also tried pouring the liquid into another container and running with only the wax in the globe to let it melt and tried to remix it in case it separated. Once cooled (overnight) I added back the liquid with a little bit of distilled water. Still have the same problem.

Best lava lamp trouble shooting video yet, thanks I haven't unplugged my lava lamp in one year but I have changed the blub so I have some experimenting to do.

Fever dream

I have 2 that i haven't used in a couple of years and they are experiencing some problems where the stuff is stuck @ the top of one and the other one the stuff is stuck @ the top and bottom. Please can U help fix these problems am having?

Very nice, just what I searched for exactly 😊

just put the bottle in a bucket of hot water for 10 minutes

And what to do when i dont like the color? My sister has a blue water with yellow lava and i find it ugly😂 but she wont use it anyway so can i change the water to like normal water color? Like seethru or ?

Great tip, thank you!

I was on the edge of my seat the entire video lol. Good job taking the extra step to experiment with the ink! Might not have been successful but hey you gave it a go!

I have a box just like that, bought in Hungary.
