LL China Grande the Good and Bad side!!

Time to correct a few problems with my 2013 Grande. The Grande lamps have always had problems due to being made in China as cheap as possible. I noticed last year the inner globe had started to haze up inside due to cheap wax run off. This is also a problem with their 32z and even 52z globes. I used what I had in the house to make it clear again.

Wow! You have given me an idea, do you think this will work on a Mathmos Astro metallic bottle to remove the mirror coating? I have one that had a funky coating that was going to be binned and want to get it back to being clear.

You must be very careful with this stuff it burns the skin if it touches so wear gloves.

My 2nd globe arrived somewhat cloudy but has started to clear up.

Once I corrected the wax stick on the 1rst Volcano globe and paint removed the wax is a lite orange color in its clear liquid which I will leaves as is.
