Important Preparation Note
Before replacing the fluid with OneShot™, it’s essential to cycle your lava lamp for at least one month as recommended by the manufacturer. This ensures the wax stabilizes and the lamp is ready for restoration. Skipping this step may result in suboptimal performance of the 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.
