Does heating up your lava lamp manually break it?
I am not sure that you know what you are asking. To heat something manually is to hold it in your hands and warm it up to your own body temperature; that is not hot enough to break a lava lamp. The only thing you can destroy with your own body heat is a snowflake. But I don't think that's what you really mean. If you are going to position your lava lamp over a candle, then yes, you might break it. What's wrong with using the built-in light, did it burn out?

Originally marketed in Europe under the name Astro Lamp, it was eventually brought to the states by two American entrepreneurs and sold as the Lava Lite lamp.

Can you use corn oil for homemade lava lamp?
No, you should not use corn oil for a homemade lava lamp. Corn oil is not ideal for creating the lava lamp effect due to its density and chemical composition. It's better to use mineral oil or vegetable oil for better results.
Why won't the lava in my lava lamp fall to the bottom?
The lava in a lava lamp rises and falls due to changes in temperature. If the lamp is not warm enough, the lava may not heat up sufficiently to flow downward. Ensure the lamp is placed in a warm area and allow some time for the lava to heat up and flow naturally.
