Don’t know what to do anymore

So I have recently bought a vintage lamp from a thrift shop for six bucks. In attempt to restore it. I used the regular type of master fluid and let’s just say that it didn’t not work out obviously but I didn’t know. So I had bought a different lamp for five dollars off of OfferUp. This lamp was not vintage and an attempt to also edit the master fluid. It was fairly successful. I really wanna get this vintage lamp to work but I have already spent a lot of money. I’ve tried so many recipes. Any recipe that is successful for a vintage lamp ? I’ve noticed that the waxes are very different, the modern wax is pretty solid and hard, while the vintage wax is still quite soft, even after being cool. Help please. It’s been two weeks of this hyper fixation of trying to fix this lamp.
