I believe this was supposed to be something of a gushing tribute to your good self.
But I've hijacked it.
We were lucky kiddo.....we had the lamp sitting on a mat which absorbed the oil as it leaked out but the scent took a while to go away. What has happened is that the seam at the bottom of the base has opened up and also where the filler tube joins the base. More a seap than a gush. Will bring it back to our workshop and solder up the seams. Hey presto....all fixed.
The lamp itself is actually pretty good quality. Wick mech works well and overal quite solid. In winter we use it down below as a heater (in a mild winter as we have here it's perfect) and in summer hang it off the boom as anchor light and mosquito coil.
Here endeth the hijack....
