Fix Your Cloudy Lava Lamp in OneShot™
Turn a gallon of distilled water into crystal clear lamp fluid in minutes. Repair your vintage or modern Lava Lamp and enjoy the flow the way it was meant to be viewed! I spent years concocting this perfectly balanced repair formula, and above all, I'm wildly excited to share with you a stable and consistent product that works every time!
There are new variants of master fluid to choose from, so choose carefully!
OneShot™ Modern is compatible with all chinese-made motion lamps including: smaller LAVA brand lamps made between 2014-2021,
Chinese "Motion Lamps" including brands like Lipan, Creative Motion, Lyon, Vandor and models like Hot Rock, Excalibur, Pyramid, WayOut Lite, and much more!
OneShot™ Modern Grande is compatible with Grande lamps made after 2013, including the Heritage Grandes.
OneShot™ Midyear is a formula intended to repair LAVA Lamps made between 2003-2013. These lamps appear to have a different formula that has a few variations within it. For that reason, each Midyear Bottle comes with a bottle of OneShot Up in order to compensate for the differences between batches.
OneShot™ Vintage will work for Lava Lite / Haggerty Enterprises lamps made from 1970 through late 2002. The new kits include OneShot UP so that users can conquer even the oldest, heaviest lamps.
OneShot™ Magma Tower is compatible with all wax made by the legends at Magma Tower.
OneShot™ Giant requires a phone consultation to ensure your lamp is dated and ready for restoration. It is a special formula for a very special lamp!

Advanced / Troubleshooting
- If your wax is not floating at all and instead pools at the bottom of the lamp, or if the wax is flowing but only in small balls, it's time to use the included bottle of "OneShot UP".
- Remove 15 ml of master fluid from the globe you are working on
- Add 15 ml of OneShot Up
- Turn the Lamp and let the wax heat up fully.
- If the wax is still pooled on the bottom, return to step 1a and repeat the process until desired flow is achieved.
- Note: I like to balance my lamps so that the wax ALMOST floats. It will appear as a long undulating column that doesn't quite make it to the top. That is my preferred flow, but to each their own.
- If your wax is flowing too much or floating entirely, you can tame the flow by removing 30 ml of master fluid and replacing it with distilled water. This effectively makes the master fluid less dense, promoting the wax to stay sunken for longer.
